Since the first mass paratrooper drops of World War Two, airborne forces have developed a fierce reputation for bravery and fighting spirit. German paratroops faced huge odds to capture Crete in 1941 and the invasion of Europe was spearheaded by Allied airborne forces in 1944.

The US Army perfected the mass use of helicopters to transport troops into battle in the Vietnam conflict and their tactics have been honed in the wars of the 21st century. This brand new publication looks at the men, the machines, and the missions of these elite fighting men.
