Features: "Those who excel in attack move among the heavens." Over two thousand years ago, the ancient Chinese military philosopher Sun Tzu called out for the passionate embrace of airborne maneuver warfare. With the invention of parachutes and the emergence of aircraft, in the early 20th century, the dream of "divine troops descending from the heavens" became a reality. World War II can be considered the "debut" of airborne troops. In this war, airborne troops not only had a significant impact on the course and outcome of the conflict but also drove fundamental changes in modern warfare methods and operational styles. Alongside the war, they themselves gradually matured from infancy to full development. From this book, you can see that the entire history of airborne troops and airborne warfare extends from World War II to the present day and into the future.
