About the parachutist the U.S. Representative from Kentucky Albert S. Berry Captain Albert Berry is one of two people credited as the first person to make a successful parachute jump from a powered aeroplane. The other contender is Grant Morton , who is reported to have jumped from a Wright Model B flying over Venice Beach , California sometime late in 1911. Morton s pilot was Philip Parmalee Phil Parmalee . On 1 March 1912, Berry jumped from a Benoist pusher biplane from 1,500 feet 457 m and landed successfully at Jefferson Barracks , Missouri . The pilot was Tony Jannus . The 36 foot 11 m diameter parachute was contained in a metal canister attached to the underside of the plane when Berry dropped from the plane his weight pulled the parachute from the canister. Rather than being attached to the parachute by a harness Berry was seated on a trapeze bar. According to Berry he dropped 500 feet 152 m before the parachute opened.

Unreferenced date June 2009 The Smock, Parachutist DPM , known simply as the Para Smock , was the replacement for the Denison Smock used by the British Army s Parachute Regiment United Kingdom Parachute Regiment and parachute trained troops. It was introduced in the mid 1970s, after the British Army s universal adoption of DPM field clothing. While the design was little different from the Denison smock , it was made from a lighter weight cloth, printed in the now standard Disruptive Pattern Material DPM . The Para Smock differs from the three most recent standard patterns of combat jacket, all made from DPM, and is like its Denison predecessor in having no flap to button or velcro over the full length zipper hip and breast pockets hem adjustors and a diaper flap fastened under the crotch to stop the smock riding up while parachuting fastened by pres studs snaps though smaller than on the Denison and knitted wool cuffs. It is also cut more loosely than the Smock,combat . It lacks the flannel lining on the inside of the collar that the Denison had, and like the standard Smock, combat has a first field dressing pouch on one sleeve the right , and pen pockets on the other, both closed by buttoned flaps. Like the 1968 Pattern Smock, Combat , it is fitted with three buttons around the outside of the collar, to which a hood can be attached. The hood is DPM, and lined in green. One is visible in the photograph shown . The Para Smock is standard issue for the Parachute Regiment United Kingdom Parachute Regiment and other airborne units.
