Straight on view inside the cargo bay of a German C-160 Transall cargo plane as the aircrew loads pallets of 100 pound bags of foodstuff at Mombasa Airport in Kenya. The aircrew then performs a low-level mission over remote locations in Somalia. The drops are conducted at less that 100 feet off the ground as the pallets fall without the aid of a parachute. The pallet rigging breaks apart on impact and absorbs most of the shock from the airdrop. German aircrews claim a success rate of 85% using this method of insertion. This mission is in direct support of Operation Restore Hope

The objects in this collection are from The U.S. National Archives and Defense Visual Information Distribution Service. The U.S. National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) was established in 1934 by President Franklin Roosevelt. NARA keeps those Federal records that are judged to have continuing value—about 2 to 5 percent of those generated in any given year. There are approximately 10 billion pages of textual records; 12 million maps, charts, and architectural and engineering drawings; 25 million still photographs and graphics; 24 million aerial photographs; 300,000 reels of motion picture film; 400,000 video and sound recordings; and 133 terabytes of electronic data. The Defense Visual Information Distribution Service provides a connection between world media and the American military personnel serving at home and abroad. All of these materials are preserved because they are important to the workings of Government, have long-term research worth, or provide information of value to citizens.
