For the first time, all the French Airborne Troops insignia - from their origins before World War Two to the present day - are collected and illustrated in one book. The last detailed study of this subject was made over twenty years ago and it certainly deserves this new up-to-date presentation. All the latest insignia are included, and to ensure authenticity, the author was assisted by the best specialists on this subject, who have opened up their collections and archives to lend their rarest examples for photography. 1800 individual insignia and badges are illustrated in full colour and in actual size, and the detailed captions are in French and English. Each caption describes the manufacturer of each insignia, its official number, and variants. Destined to be the Bible for all collectors of French airborne insignia, and fascinating reading for all badge and insignia enthusiasts.
