London: Leo Cooper / Martin Secker & Warburg. Very Good/Very Good. 1984. Second Edition. Hard Cover. 8vo 0436315254 Dust jacket complete. Original cloth boards with bright gilt titling on spine. No ownership marks. Photographs. 310 pages clean and tight. From Bruneval to North Africa, from Normandy to Suez, by parachute and glider the men of the Airborne Forces have gone by air to battle. But their activities have by no means been confined to purely airborne operations - the Special Air Service performed prodigies of valour behind the German Lines in the Western Desert and Italy; the Glider Pilot Regiment fought beside their infantry comrades in Normandy, at Arnhem and across the Rhine. Their post-war successors, maintaining these traditions, have stood between Jew and Arab in Palestine; fought and sweltered in the jungles of Malaya and Borneo; sweated in the Persian Gulf and the Radfan; choked on the summer dust of Cypriot roads; tasted the grit and sand of Egypt and Jordan in their mess tins; spent more than a decade facing terrorist ambush, bombs and bullets in Northern Ireland; experienced the subzero temperatures and biting arctic winds of the South Atlantic and tabbed' across the Falklands to spearhead victory in 1982. Nor should the aircrews who flew them be forgotten, or the air supply despatchers who maintained them, and the units who supported them. With well over 100 photographs and illustrations this book is a comprehensive single-volume history of the Airborne Forces. Accounts are given of the airborne actions fought by the British Army, whilst the development of the parachute assault and the use of glider-borne troops can be followed from their infancy to the massive coup de main technique employed in the Rhine Crossing. Major G. G. Norton was Secondin-Command of Airborne Depot and established the magnificent Airborne Forces Museum in Aldershot in 1969. Retiring in 1982 he is again Curator of the Museum and well qualified therefore to write about the Force to which he obviously has such attachment. .
