Sky Warriors : British Airborne Forces in the Second World War by Saul David A glow-in-the-darkFrom bestselling historian Saul David, a riveting new history of the British airborne experience across the Second World War. The legendary Red Devils were among the finest combat troops of the Second World War. Created at Churchills instigation in June 1940, they began as a single parachute battalion of 500 men and grew into three 10,000 strong airborne divisions: the 1st, 6th and 44th Indian, each composed of parachutists and glider borne troops.
