ORANGE IS THE COLOR OF THE DAY: Pictorial History of the American Airborne Forces in the Invasion of Holland (English and French Edition)

Readers of Michel de Trez’s previous three books will know that they are in for an absolute treat with this new book.

Impeccably researched and fabulously illustrated, this latest massive book on the Airborne forces is packed with an enormous amount of material on the operations, the soldiers, their uniforms and equipment. Michel de Trez has unique access to veteran’s archives as well as being a meticulous researcher in the National Archives.

It is unlikely there will ever be a book on this subject which is so well researched and presented.

The story of the operations surrounding the airborne invasion of the Netherlands is well known from numerous books and movies. US, British and Polish troops were dropped in an attempt to force a hasty conclusion to the war in an operation that was ultimately to fail.
