    The invasion of Italy was one of the pivotal campaigns of World War II, playing a crucial role in the eventual Allied victory in Europe. Southern Europe, particularly Italy, was seen as a gateway for the Allies to weaken Nazi forces, divert their attention from the Eastern Front, and eventually push towards Germany. But the road to Italy was not a simple or straightforward one. It was a strategic decision shaped by both military considerations and political imperatives. 
      
    Following the successful invasion of North Africa and the defeat of Axis forces in Tunisia in May 1943, the Allies were left with a significant question: what would be their next move? While the focus remained on the ultimate goal of defeating Nazi Germany, the question of how best to proceed in the Mediterranean theater became a subject of intense debate. Some leaders, particularly in the United Kingdom, advocated for an immediate assault on France through a cross-channel invasion, while others, notably U.S. leaders, saw the conquest of Italy as an essential stepping stone toward that final invasion. 
      
    Italy's location in the heart of the Mediterranean made it a prime target for an invasion. Not only did it offer a direct path into Europe, but it also served as a critical base for Axis operations. The Italian peninsula was seen as both a vulnerable and strategically significant part of the Axis defense. The Allies understood that by attacking Italy, they would draw German resources away from the Eastern Front, weaken Axis control of the Mediterranean, and force Italy to the negotiating table—if not outright force its surrender.

    From World War Two to the Jet Age, Ian Mackersey charts the thrilling and personal accounts of airmen who have jumped from their planes and survived. 
     
     
     
    Since the test pilot Harold Harris became the first man to save his life with a parachute in 1922 there have been over 120,000 air force pilots and crew who owe their lives to their parachutes. 
     
     
     
    Into the Silk is full of astounding tales of people who against the odds bailed out of their planes and were therefore able to enter the annals of the Caterpillar Club, a society open only to men and women who survive aviation disaster with the aid of a parachute. 
     
     
     
    Mackersey records dramatic moments during the Second World War when pilots leapt from their burning planes while still being shot at by enemy fighters. He uncovers the descent of the extraordinarily lucky man who jumped from his damaged bomber but had to put his parachute on while falling through the sky and the pilot who found himself attached to a moving train and was dragged along for miles. 
     
     
     
    The book highlights the debts that all of these survivors owe to people such as Leslie Irvin, who invented the modern parachute and Sir James Martin, the great designer of ejection seats.
