Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. A history of the 80th AAA Battalion World War II service - in Italy, and from Normandy through to Germany. Most modern books and films glamorise World War II airborne soldiers as troopers leaping into the night to descend by parachute into combat. Much less often considered is the role of gl…ider forces. Glider troops lacked the panache and special distinctions of paratroopers, despite their critical role in airborne warfare. Likewise, World War II ground combat is characterised as a combined arms fight of infantry and armor, backed up with field artillery; by comparison the role played by specialised, supporting arms has received scant attention. The 80th AAA Battalion was a glider outfit, providing anti-aircraft defense and anti-tank capability to the division's three infantry regiments as battlefield conditions dictated. Elements of the battalion fought in Italy, Normandy, Holland and the Battle of the Bulge, making combat glider assaults during both Operation Neptune and Operation Market Garden. The exploits of the men of the 80th tend to be obscured as commanders maneuvered the batteries wherever their special skills were needed on the battlefield, with no regiment to call a permanent home. The 80th AAA battalion was a hybrid unit. While its members were considered Coast Artillery (the branch responsible for defending ground formations from air attack during WWII), they fought alongside parachute and glider infantry, most often providing direct fire, anti-armor support with 57mm/6 pounder cannons. While field artillery, both parachute and glider, established their gunlines some distance behind infantry units to provide indirect fire support, the men of the 80th fought face to face with the enemy, alongside their infantry brothers. AUTHOR: Ben Powers served 24 years in the United States Army. He is a Life Member of the 82nd Airborne Association, and Honorary Member of the 80th AAA Battalion Association and active in the American Battlefield Trust. Ben hosts "The Commander's Voice," a YouTube channel and podcast devoted to airborne subjects. Ben resides in Texas with his wife KC and their four children, Arthur, Michaela, Emma, and Jordan. This is his first book. 30 photographs A history of the 80th AAA Battalion World War II service - in Italy, and from Normandy through to Germany.
