The true History of the UDT program by one who was actually in it and interesting reading of their heroic tasks - and a far cry from the tales of those who would seek to steal their valorous exploits like Gene DeFord did.

I used to sit and talk with Red King about the Parachute Test Platoon and the early development of Airborne training of what was then called The Parachute School; I would definitely enjoy talking with Mr Lumsden about the early UDT training program, too.
Thanks, Teddy, for a great read.
