First published in 1973. From the preface: "The purpose of this
study is to trace the evolution of airmobility in the U.S. Army.
The integration of aircraft into the organic structure of the
ground forces is as radical a change as the move from the horse to
the truck, and the process is only beginning. Because this change
is not the product of one man or one small group of men but rather
a fortunate confluence of technology, tactics, and imagination,
proper credit to every responsible individual is impossible. I have
tried to identify some of those people who made a major
contribution throughout the years. Although Vietnam was the first
large combat test of airmobility, air assault operations in
Southeast Asia would not have been possible without certain key
decisions a decade earlier. This study attempts to trace the most
important milestones which led to the eventual formation of
airmobile divisions."
