Operation Musketeer

British Paratroopers secure the Egyptian Airfield of El Gamil during Operation Musketeer in 1956.
Operation Musketeer - The End of Empire A Study of Organizational Failure in Combined Operations - A Monograph by Major Patrick L. Neky. Another fascinating declassified study about the events (and blunders!) during the Suez Crisis in 1956. In my opinion a fascinating read, highly recommended. It can be downloaded from the DTIC archives. Replay the action at Port Said with the tactical-wargame - Campaign Series Middle East.

Thank you Herr Oberst, what an intriguing read to accompany one of the larger scenarios in CS Middle East!
