Description | Measures for foiling troop carriers by G. H. Davis |
Details |
Meeting the threat of airborne invasion in Britain during the Second World War: suggested measures for foiling German troop carriers. These troop carriers, which played a vital part in the invasion of Norway and Holland, can crash land in relatively small spaces. These drawings show their capabilities, and suggest a number of ways by which they can be hindered or stopped.
