A still from newsreel footage which purports to show "A" Company of the 509th Parachute Infantry Battalion boarding a C-47 of the 442nd Troop Carrier Group at Follonica, but as the scene is clearly shot in daylight it is either being posed for the cameras in the hours before take-off or is of an earlier training exercise, or it could be, as the footage goes on to show the Operation Canary parachute drop on the evening of the 15th August, "A" Company of the 551st Parachute Infantry Battalion with a C-47 of the 437th Troop Carrier Group at Montalto.
