Revision as of 19:11, 12 January 2004
A few notes for anyone querying my changes:
- Airborne units typically do not consist of all three types. e.g. 82nd and 101 Airborne at D-Day, British Parachute Regiment, U.S. Air Cavalry, etc.
- Glider borne troops do not just follow the paratroops. On many occations they preceded them (see Pegasus Bridge).
- We badly need a reference for the 1927 Italian paratroop drop. Some sites claim the Italians made the first combat drops in 1918, but I've found nothing about a 1927 drop.
Most of this page should probably be moved to paratroop, and separate histories made for the other forms of airborne troops. DJ Clayworth 18:31, 12 Jan 2004 (UTC)
