celebrate 50 years of action from World War II to the invasion of Panama
" United States Airborne Forces is an authoritative account of the formation and development of US airborne forces from their successes and reverses in World War II to the deployment of today's truly air mobile infantry. Why, for example, after World War II when most nations had dismantled their airborne forces did the French vigorously pursue the 'Airborne Cause' in Indo-China ? Why did Hitler after the triumph of the invasion of Holland and Belgium with parachute and glider troops, and the equally successful invasion of Crete, abandon 'assault from the sky' as a viable tactical concept ? When was it that 'airmobility' and heli-borne, air-landed infantry took over from the paratroopers, and will the vulnerable helicopter ever play a part in conventional, land battles of the future ? These, and many more questions are posed and answered by the author in a highly-readable narrative style. Using a profusion of illustrations, United States Airborne Forces assesses the strategy and tactics of the 'Airborne Method' and the aircraft and equipment that have so far supported the American paratrooper, glider-man and heli-trooper into battle.
