The parachute jump tower, a familiar Fort Benning landmark, was built after soldiers trained in New Jersey on a similar tower built by the company that built parachute towers for the 1939 World's Fair in New York.
Note: Only three towers stand today. The fourth tower was toppled by a tornado on 14 MAR 1954. #airborne #airborne_school #army_airborne #fort_benning #jump_school #ranger
