2.0 out of 5 stars Novice beware!, November 29, 1999
By A Customer
This book contributes virtually nothing new to this field - its contents are covered, and covered with greater accuracy and authority, in the books of Michel de Trez, John Andrews, and Gary Howard. Novice collectors of the artifacts of U.S. airborne forces will be especially ill-served by this book if they use it as an authoritative guide because of the author's indiscriminate use of replicas, more than a few of which are of poor quality. There are better books on this subject; do yourself a favor and seek them.

5.0 out of 5 stars The new bible for collectors of WWII airborne!, December 29, 1999
By A Customer
This incredible masterpiece does for airborne what author Jon Maguire's Gear up! did for US Army Air Force collecting.The close-up photography shows every thread of material on each authentic World War II field uniform thanks in part to the fine studio photographs taken by master photographer Robert Biondi. This book is a must for every serious collector and also for your father or grandfather(or grandmother) who served so proudly! Highly recommended! You will not be disappointed!
