Airborne Classbooks (books)

These four 7.5 by 10.5-inch books are the original books for the below timeframes. These Classbook are nearly impossible to fine. They are a treasure for any former student who took their airborne training at Fort Benning, Georgia during one of these timeframes. Just as those digitized Classbooks on DVD, they too contain pictures of the training facilities at Fort Benning, Georgia, scenes of student paratroopers going through three-weeks of the toughest training the U.S. Military had to offer, as well as, cadre and student pictures.

Airborne Classbooks DVD

The DVD contains digital copies of 28 issues of the Fort Benning Airborne Classbooks in my collection. As with my other 101st Airborne Division publications, i.e. "The Screaming Eagle" newspapers, 101st Association's "The Screaming Eagle" bi-monthly magazines, and the 1968 and 1969 Yearbooks", it has been said to be the largest private collection from the Vietnam war era outside the museum at Fort Campbell, Kentucky. It has taken me over 50 years to assemble this collection. The DVD contains digital copies of each Classbook pages (28 books) in my current collection. Listed below are those issues.
