C-119 Flying Boxcar - C-82 Packet, Força Aérea Brasileira / Brazilian Air Force

Pintura do acervo do Museu Aeroespacial, no Rio de Janeiro / Painting from the Brazilian Air Force Aerospace Museum, Rio de Janeiro.

In 1960 fifteen volunteers from the SADF were sent to England, the majority to train as parachute instructors, some as parachute-packers and one SAAF pilot in the dropping of paratroopers. These formed the nucleus of 1 Parachute Battalion at Tempe in Bloemfontein. The first paratroopers were Permanent Force men, but soon the training of Citizen Force paratroopers commenced. Members of 1 Parachute Battalion were the first S.A. Army men to see action after WWII.
