Very good overview of the use and misuse of WWII Airborne troops. Notes the theory and tactics required, but primarily is focussed upon the major airborne operations. Very well written, I learnt quite a bit; was unaware that the 1 Cdn Parachute Bn CO was killed in the Wesel drop.
Highly recommended.
