美国空降师1942-2018（战争图像）

1942年，组建了第82和101空降师，随后又组建了三个空降师。第17和第92师（全美师）以及第101师（尖叫鹰）分别在西西里岛、D日、市场花园和莱茵河交叉口（大学）作战。11号在远东服役。13号没有看到战斗。
只有第82名在战后的淘汰中幸存下来。1956年，“尖叫鹰”号重新启用，两个师都在越南服役，第101师在1968年成为直升机交付的“空中机动”师，1974年被重新指定为“空中突击”师。
正如这本插图精美的书所描述的那样，第82和第101师在美国行动和军事干预的前沿赢得了“精锐”师的声誉，无论是格林纳达（紧急愤怒）、巴拿马（正义事业）、海湾战争，还是最近的阿富汗（持久自由）。
多亏了作者的知识和研究，这本关于战争的书给了读者一个全面的视角，让读者了解那些使这些师成为美国陆军精英的战斗和人员及其装备。
United States Airborne Divisions 1942–2018 (Images of War)
In 1942 the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions were formed and three more followed. 17th and 92nd (All American Division) and 101st (Screaming Eagles) fought in Sicily, D-Day, Market Garden, and the Rhine Crossing (VARSITY). The 11th served in the Far East. The 13th did not see combat.
Only the 82nd survived the postwar cull. The Screaming Eagles were reactivated in 1956 and both divisions served in Vietnam with the 101st becoming a helicopter delivered ‘airmobile’ division in 1968 before being re-designated an ‘air assault’ division in 1974.
As this superbly illustrated book describes, both 82nd and 101st earned their reputations as ‘crack’ divisions at the forefront of US operations and military interventions, be it Grenada (Urgent Fury), Panama (Just Cause), the Gulf Wars and most recently Afghanistan (Enduring Freedom).
Thanks to the Author’s knowledge and research, this Images of War book gives the reader a full insight into the battles and the men and their equipment that have made these divisions the elite of the US Army.
