As an ex member of British Airborne forces i have always been aware of the distinction between military parachuting and so called sport parachuting but the real test is making the a combat assault by Parachute or glider.
I have been lucky enough to have met veterans who have been involved in some of the most Famous Airborne Assaults in history , Kreta , Normandy , Arnhem and the Rhine Crossing / Operation Varsity but i'm interested in other not so well known Airborne assaults on a large scale or a more tactical level such as the Para drop into Suez in 1956 and the German tactical drop in the Ardennes and at Drvar , if any one has knowledge of other such operations please post them here ,
regards
Paul
