Created at Churchill's 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. Wearing their distinctive maroon berets, steel helmets and Dennison smocks, they served with distinction in every major theatre of the conflict - including North Africa, Sicily, mainland Europe and the Far East - and played a starring role in some most iconic airborne operations in history: the Bruneval Raid of February 1942; the capture of the Primasole, Pegasus and Arnhem Bridges in July 1943, June 1944 and September 1944 respectively; and Operation Varsity, the biggest parachute drop in history, near Wesel in Germany in March 1945.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Saul David","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":50554519159123,"sku":"9780008522209","price":12.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/saul-david-david-saul-sky-warriors-2025-paperback-9780008522209-1146088011.jpg?v=1741650919","url":"https:\/\/theirishbookshop.live\/products\/sky-warriors-1","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
