Army Air Forces Combat Subjects film #1525: Pathfinders Of The 9th Air Force Troop Carrier Command, Grantham, England . No description at the National Archives but this is footage of members of the IX TCC Pathfinder Group. They are standing for inspection and also show off some of their Pathfinder gear for the camera. This is likely 1944 or 1945, as they were formed in February 1944 according to the Air Mobility Command Museum . I would bet this was taken before the Normandy Invasion....
