From the Dust Jacket: "AIR ASSAULT is the first full-scale account of the development of airmobile warfare, a concept that has revolutionized ground military operations. Beginning with the early innovators of the parachute and glider in the first decades of [the 20th century], it goes on to cover airborne operations during World War II, the birth of helicopter air mobility, ending with an analysis of airmobile operations in Vietnam Its real beginnings, essentially experiments, came at the start of World War II and were surprise attacks by German parachutists. Increasingly complex operations took place throughout the war. The use of the helicopter in Korea revealed new possibilities in the search for greater air mobility. Since then the concept has been tested in hundreds of combat actions in Vietnam. AIR ASSAULT traces the development of air mobility in clear, dramatic detail, illuminating the past, the present, and the future of airmobile warfare." Black cloth-backed black boards.
