Vehicles
Due to the combat nature of airborne forces their are no ground vehicles for Airborne infantry besides the jeep. Tanks were currently to heavy to deploy from the air and the only thing that could be dropped in was a jeep. Airborne forces were primarily an anti infantry force that could take on a large number of tanks as well due to tactics and ingenuity. Some devices that gave airborne an advantage against enemy tanks were recoiless anti tank rifles, bazookas, and sticky bombs. In spite of the limited nature of airborne anti tank weapons, airborne forces held their own on many occasions against overwhelming tank forces.
CG-4 Hadrian
The CG-4 Hadrian (named CG-4A Waco in American use) was the most widely used United States troop/cargo military glider of World War II. Flight testing began in 1942 and 
eventually more than 12,000 CG-4As were produced. The CG-4A was constructed of fabric-covered wood and metal and was crewed by a pilot and copilot. It could carry 13 troops and their equipment or either a jeep, a quarter-ton truck, or a 75mm howitzer loaded through the upward-hinged nose section. C-46s and C-47s were usually used as tow aircraft. These gliders were used to deploy several companies of airborne troops and some heavy equipment the night before D-Day.*
Transport Planes
Many different types of transport planes were also used to drop paratroopers in over different sections of Europe. The most popular of these was the C-47 Skytrain
which was used most often. Many times these planes could cary about fifteen men over the combat zone and then signal them to jump.
World War II Jeeps
Many different jeeps were used for WWII. Several different companies made jeeps for the allies and all of 
them were used extensively across Europe. The jeep mainly served as a light reconnaissance vehicle which was sometimes mounted with a heavy machince gun. Its primary use was quick troop transport for officers and wounded personel.
