Airborne books relive the missions of the 430 pathfinders of both the 82nd and 101st Divisions who had important missions to mark six drop zones, and one landing zone, and to make them clear of all obstacles and enemy forces. Airborne books explain how in order to accomplish their task, they had to jump thirty minutes before some 13,100 troops. The story of the pathfinders and the vital part they played in the operations during the Second World War has rarely been told like it is in these airborne books.
