 | First Airborne Taskforce by Michel De Trez
The Allied landings in Southern France of August 15, 1944, codenamed Anvil-Dragoon, have never received the attention of the Normandy landings. British and American paratroopers were combined into a First Airborne Task Force, and made a drop to cover the landings. A great deal had been learned in the two months since D-Day, and this was reflected in a number of innovations for the airborne forces involved in the operation. In Normandy, camouflage and additions to clothing and equipment had been improvised on a unit and sometimes on an individual basis. For Anvil-Dragoon, many troops had new uniforms and a more complex, regulation camouflage face paint scheme. The airborne warrior of the future was starting to take shape. Admirers of Michel de Trez's other airborne books will find equal attention to detail here, as unprecedented coverage is given to the weapons, equipment and uniforms of British and American paratroopers in the next big operation after D-Day.
