The Way We Were: Col. Robert M. Piper "Bob" : Headquarters Company, 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 82nd Airborne Division (Wwii American Paratroopers Portrait Series)

Rating:
Summary: A memorable and thoughtfully bilingual tribute
Review: The second volume in the D-Day Publishing "WW II Paratroopers Portrait" series, The Way We Were is a veritable showcase of historic photographs of World War II paratroopers, most of which were taken during or shortly after the war. Vivid black-and-white pictures visually capture the brave men of the Headquarters Company, 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 82nd Airborne Division who were willing to risk life and limb in service to their country. Enhanced with an extensive commentary by the photographer Colonel Bob Piper (a man who took many of the photos against orders during his wartime service), enhances this memorable and thoughtfully bilingual tribute with the text being in both English and French.
