First Airborne Task Force

For the Allied landings in Southern France of August 15, 1944, codenamed Anvil-Dragoon, British and American paratroopers were combined into a First Airborne Task Force. Admirers of Michel de Trez's other airborne books will find equal attention to detail here, as unprecedented coverage is given to the weapons, equipment and uniforms of British and American paratroopers in the next big operation after D-Day.
