The book you must have for this figure :

​

PARAS FRANÇAIS EN INDOCHINE, 1945-1954

Only in French no English version yet !
The French paratroops underwent a major expansion during the war in Indochina, after the inception of the Airborne Forces under Allied auspices in 1943-1945. The uniforms and equipment of French paratroopers in Indochina are characterized by their variety, and every original silhouette has been recreated in studio reconstructions. This volume is heavily illustrated with colour pictures of collectible artifacts, and large size period photographs from the French Army archive.
ISBN : 978-2-35250-094-0

Fantastic subject and a must-have for me.

I would love to see more French figures from the Indochina and Algeria conflicts. That's a big gap in the market that needs filling, as pickings are currently very meagre.

"I would love to see more French figures from the Indochina and Algeria conflicts."
