Parachutages et atterrissages clandestins, Tome 1

This volume of the Resistance collection is devoted to parachute drops and pick-ups of agents from 1940 to 1944. It is a striking fresco of these operations and a vigorous tribute to the heroes of the Resistance that the author paints here, relying both on his extensive personal documentation, the friendship of veterans and the proximity to many museum curators throughout Europe. The rigor of the reconstruction, the precision of the information, both on the methods and on the materials, and the richness of the iconography will meet the expectations of the most enlightened amateurs.

But it is above all life paths that each reader can thus discover more intimately, from the training exercises in England and the wait for departure to the sacrifices freely made in the accomplishment of the mission.
