This is the exciting story of the development of U.S. airmobile
power from theory to practice, involving air transport, fixed wing
aircraft, and attack helicopters culminating in Vietnam War
operations. It includes analysis of airmobile combat operations;
doctrinal and interservice disputes; equipment descriptions; and
the organization of combat and support units. It also includes data
about airmobility in South Vietnam's army and it features personal
reflections of the author, who was at the center of airmobility
development and who commanded large airmobile units. John J. Tolson
in June 1939 participated in the first tactical air movement of
ground forces by the U.S. Army. He was in all combat jumps of the
503d Parachute Infantry Regiment during World War II, became an
Army aviator in 1957, and served as Director of Army Aviation and
Commandant of the Army Aviation School. From April 1967 to July
1968 he commanded the 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile), Vietnam.
