The Airborne Soldier (1985) By John Weeks
 
The combination of combat troops and aviation came into its own in the early stages of WWII, based on experiments carried out in the number of countries before the 1939-45 conflict. The author, a long-term member of the British Parachute regiment, follows the evolution of this form of warfare through WWII and examines developments and deployments since. This excellent assessment of airborne warfare covers all aspects of the topic, including chapters on parachutes and parachuting, personal weapons and equipment, aircraft, gliders, helicopers and vehicles, heavy equipment and mounting an airborne assault.
