Didn't the Russian paratroops slide off the wing of a large aircraft
during WW-II ?? Saw a video of that somewhere...

Good memory Charles. But it might have been pre-war. There was an airborne exercise in 1936 of about 1,800 troops. The jumpers were carried face down on the wings of bombers. The paratroopers held onto a rope to keep from being blown off before the jump point.

I remember seeing a video of a mass jump off of a Twin Beech from back in the late 70's.

One guy slid down the fuselauge and got a whip antenna right in his privates!
