Famous WW2 Quote
"No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. You win the war by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country!"George Patton, 31 May 1944

The contributor ad-libbed the caption, which is incorrect. The manufacturer was not "staging a training session". There was no training occurring here. This was simply a Public Relations photo-shoot and the manufacturer was showing the use of the new design, or if you wioll, they were "staging a demonstration". Also, it is not a "modified L-5B". It is an L-5B in stock form and hasn't been modified. In fact it is the prototype L-5B which was a modification of the original L-5 design.
