Introduction

When the United States entered World War II, they developed an idea of training soldiers to deploy into the battlefield from above and fight behind enemy lines. The method of deploying soldiers onto the battlefields from aircraft is through static-line parachuting. In this case, we will be talking about the device that allowed airborne soldiers to deploy and land anywhere on the battlefield. We will be primarily talking about the T-10 and T-11 Series parachutes. Even though the T-10 Series parachute introduced until the 1950's, it still held many of its predecessors characteristics until the T-11 Series.
