Good afternoon all,

Article about women in south Utah making parachutes for war effort.

Two of the companies mentioned are the Standard Parachute Company and the Independent Parachute Company.

Note the orange and white parachutes were for medical supplies, food, equipment and white parachutes for paratroopers.

Article mentions the 94th Hat in the Ring Pursuit Squadron.
