First the good news. The graphics/drawing in the book are very good. The art work of the weapons and equipmnet utilized by the paratroopers is excellent. Several of the pictures (all B/W) are new and not seen on a regular basis. The problem is with the written portion. As you read through the book you will find that several paragraphs have eiher been omitted or repeated. This is very frustrating. As you begin to read about a specific issue it will suddenly end or be repeated. I could not find the remainder of article. It appears that the publisher was in a rush to get this book out and did a poor job of editing. If you want a book for references on uniforms, weapons and equipment this is a good book. If you want to read about the paratoopers adventures I would look else where. This is not one of Osprey's best works.

Another Soprey Booklet this one covers the US Paratroopers 1941-45. It has great drwaing and pic's...but to me the text isnt as gripping as it would be. I know many books are written to spec. Both authors are great at what they do....it is worth the price if you can get it used.
