"[The author] gives vivid accounts of glider operations ... in every theater of the war, in northern Europe, the Mediterranean, the Far East, and the Pacific. He quotes extensively from the memoirs and eyewitness accounts of the glider pilots and the troops they carried, and he traces the evolution of glider tactics over the course of the war. He also gives detailed specifications of the gliders flown by all sides in the conflict and compares their design and performance"--Jacket.
