Airborne Plaque

Airborne Plaque


Enamel Silk Screen plaque showing the ancient Greek gods Pegasus (winged horse) and Bellerophon who form the motif for the badge of the British Airborne Forces.

Airborne forces can be divided into three categories:

    * Paratroopers — landed by parachute from aircraft,
    * Airlanding troops — landed by aircraft (usually glider),
    * Air assault troops or airmobile infantry — transported to the battle by helicopter or by aircraft.

The basic premise of the Airborne is that they can arrive with such speed that a coherent defence cannot be mounted against them for some time. It is assumed that this tactical advantage cannot be sustained for very long, so effective Airborne missions require the rapid advance of ground based troops in support.

The British 1st Airborne Division fought in World War II. It suffered terrible casualties, especially in Operation Market Garden. The unit was the first to use the maroon beret, now an internationally recognised symbol of elite airborne forces.
