French Airborne Troops Wings and Insignia: from the Origins to the Present Day

All insignia of the French Airborne Troops are shown in this book, from the origins -before the Second World War - to the present. The last "inventory" has been made more than twenty years ago and deserved an up-to-date and a more modern version. Moreover, several hundred new insignia have been struck since then. To make this inventory and to introduce those insignia, the author was helped by the best specialists on the subject who have not hesitated to open their collection and to lend their rarest insignia and brevets. This « bible » includes 1 800 real size colour items. Every insignia features a bilingual caption, English and French. 3000 colour illustrations

Ideal for readers interested in history.
