This book was originally announced over a year ago under the title Insignes et Brevets des Parachutistes Françaises and was, unfortunately, delayed. Now it is on track again and will be available at the very beginning of January.

Not only does each parent organization in the French airborne forces have its own enamelled badge, but the French generally produce a special badge for each major operation or exercise.

The Bilingual text of this unique work accompanies over 3000 full-color photographs of badges and insignia, (captions in French), covering units as well as operations in the Persian Gulf, Bosnia, Croatia, Kosovo, Lebanon, Chad, Somalia, and elsewhere.
