The Airborne in World War II: An Illistrated History of America's Paraptroopers in Action
SKU
E1676
D-Day, Operation Market Garden, Battle of the Bulgeāthe US Airborne divisions were integral at all these major points in World War II. But they also played a significant role in North Africa, where they first saw action, and in Italy in 1943. Right on the tail of these planes, this expert history follows the airborne divisions from the re designation and initial training of the 82nd in 1942 through to their final, momentous missions in the Pacific. Featuring the equipment, division structure, and uniforms, as well as first-hand accounts, this book is the true history popularized by such titles as Band of Brothers, A Bridge Too Far, and The Dirty Dozen. With one hundred and sixty photographs, maps, and illustrations, The Airborne in World War II is an accessible account of remarkable men and the battles that they fought. About the Author: MICHAEL E. HASKEW is the editor of WWII History Magazine and the former editor of World War II Magazine.
