The decision, in Spring 1948, to form two battalions of Foreign Legion paratroopers was prompted by the requirement for enlarged airborne forces in the First Indochina War (1946), and the healthy recruitment then employed by the Legion. There were some initial doubts. The Legion were known to be magnificent heavy infantry, but were felt by some to lack the flexibility and agility demanded by independent airborne operations. In the Legion itself there were some misgivings over the possible clash between the self-consciously exclusive 'para mentality', and the Legion's own very marked ésprit de corps. Over time, however, all these doubts evaporated with experience.

reviewed French Foreign Legion Paratroops, Vol. 6 on April 01, 2014
French Foreign Legion Paratroops
Standard fare from Osprey. Very brief overview of unit's history, accompanied by a selection of black and white photos as well as a superb set of color plates showing different uniforms and associated descriptions. Since Foreign Legion Paras is such a small entity, the rudimentary history of its units is somewhat useful in a pinch. Strength of this booklet lies however (as is usually the case with Osprey's) in its graphic material.
Be aware that the book covers the time period only up to Legion's deployment in Beirut in 1980:s.
