Out Of The Sky: A History Of Airborne Warfare (1979) By Michael Hickey
 
This book provides the first comprehensive coverage of airborne warfare in its widest sense: parachute, glider, helicopter and reconnaissance. From first theories in the 19th century, he studies the Second World War in depth - German, British, American, Japanese and Russian actions. Further, the author considers the increasingly important role of air mobility in post-World War II conflicts (helicopters and light aircraft in Korea, Malaya, Indo-China, amphibious airborne strikes at Suez; the French in Algeria; the US Army in Vietnam, Borneo, and Israel's experiences).
