"The book is enriched with personal stories of the soldiers in combat...thoroughly recommended to those with an interest in airborne or logistic operations. It would also be useful to those who want to build accurate dioramas of the equipment's used during this airborne operation."

Richard Lane, IPMS No. 1 January & February 2022

..engrossing, informative and focuses on a rarely studied aspect of airborne combat. Highly recommended for readers with an interest in parachute operations in the Second World War.

ARGunners

A most interesting account of Arnhem from the perspective of the Royal Army Service Corps and the Royal Army Ordnance Corps. The book begins with a description of their role within the 1st Airborne Division; the organisation of their units, equipment used and supplies that they were expected to render. Then comes a day by day account of the battle, with the logisticians initially plying their unglamorous trade against the background of an operation that had not yet gone awry, then, as the situation became desperate, taking their place in the thick of the fighting. Frank Steer also discusses the wider aspects of the battle, from the supremely courageous work of the RASC Air Despatchers on the resupply flights, to the progress of the 1st Airborne Division's Seaborne Echelon, following in the wake of the 2nd Army.
