"Three hours later the search party found me, six miles away from
the dropping zone, hanging helplessly from the highest branches of
a clump of trees." Captain J. Dawes, during training First
published in 1945 and comprising a compilation of fascinating
primary accounts of airborne combat as told by the very men who
fought in the action, 'By Air to Battle' is the official history of
Airborne operations by British Paratroops in World War II. Spanning
the introduction of the Central Landing Establishment to the end of
the war, we follow the heroic exploits of the British First and
Sixth Airborne Divisions. 'By Air to Battle' is an inspiring and at
times very comic description of the true events that took place at
such historic conflicts as Arnhem, the Rhine, Normandy and Bruneval
as well as the Airborne forces in North Africa, Sicily and Italy.
This is a must-read for any military history enthusiast.
