Reviews
The British Airborne troops of World War 2 have an outstanding reputation. They were made famous by their exploits on D-Day, Arnhem and the Rhine Crossing (Operation Varsity). Although their exploits are famous and there is much literature on them there is in comparison a significant lack of high-quality information on their uniforms, insignia and equipment. This outstanding book fills this information deficiency and it is a superb publication. As an Airborne re-enactor and military enthusiast, I require highly-detailed books on these aspects of the Airborne forces. This book is simply excellent and was written by a fellow re-enactor. It has chapters on the history of the Parachute Brigade, the Airlanding Brigade, the Glider Pilot Regiment and their support troops. Most people when thinking about the Airborne troops often neglect the important role of the Airlanding Brigade. These men arrived into battle by glider and were often transferred from their parent infantry regiments (battalions) to the Airborne troops. Unlike the Parachute Brigade they were not all volunteers. Naturally their insignia differentiated them from other troops and the author gives many detailed examples of their specialist insignia and combinations of insignia. The Airborne troops also had specialist uniforms and equipment. Their clothing was different from ordinary troops and many examples of them are presented in this highly picture graphic book. Overall this book comes highly recommended both for Airborne enthusiasts and re-enactors. If you are a serious student of this topic then this book is a definite must-have as there are simply no rivals at this high standard of research.

Too many general interest photos, leaves out whole categories of special but well known equipment, interesting to look through but of extremely limited value as a reference.
