I do not think so. Jumping out of a plane without a parachute is a really high-risk endeavour and I don’t see any good tactical reason to just jump out of plane. Height alone could kill you, let alone the speed. Even if the plane was really close to ground and moved relatively slow, it would still be most likely a lethal jump. I wouldn’t jump out of a car moving 60km/h, let alone if it was 10 meters above ground. Which is pretty low for altitude for an airplane.
Of course jumping out of an airplane without parachute might have happened, but that I believe is either individual or a force majoure (like the plane is on fire, just like people jumping out of a burning building).
I can’t be sure about this, so if someone knows better please inform us about it. But for now, this is a tall tale for me.

I don’t think they did. But there were Soviet airborne operations during WW2 where they did use paratroopers.

They are PARA-troopers for a reason.
