ABOUT
A history of the rapid evolution of air delivered military operations between the world wars and through the Second World War.
Gregory traces how the concept of using aircraft to transport, insert, and support troops developed from tentative post WWI experiments into a mature, strategically significant capability. He covers the pioneering efforts of the Soviets and Italians, the German refinement of airborne assault tactics in the 1930s, and the early British and American attempts to build their own airborne forces. Batchelor’s detailed artwork—uniform plates, aircraft profiles, equipment drawings—adds clarity and immediacy to the narrative.
Illustrated throughout with monochrome and colour images and drawings.
