1952 - Miss Vietnam trains to drop in from the air and hoped the conservative head of state will permit women paratroops: A dozen pretty 21year old spend their days at an airborne forces training school near Saigon training to be the vanguard and instructors of an all-women's paratroop force for the treaty-limited 200, 000 Vietnamese army. Already they have 21 drops to their credit. But their big worry is that the Catholic president of the Republic will disband them during his term of office. As Supremo, 40 year old Ngo Dinh Diem, a bachelor and devout man, does not believe this is a woman's job, physically or morally. But the senior army officers realise what value these dare-devil girls would have in a future defensive campaign against North Indo-China. They could drop over rear areas, and be used to take over communications, radar installations, serve as transport drivers and to assist in maintaining airfields. The tiny women soldiers (they are all dimunitive in stature but great in pluck) have given up their graceful oriental costumes for the camouflaged tunics of the paratroops. Crash he met have replaced the traditional headgear of a cone-shaped straw hat as they train quietly to be ready for the day when their country may need them. Photo shows a special slide is used for the Vietnamese women parachutists. Because of their small size and weight, to simulate a landing a lower slide is used at the training school.
