Hi! Dear all!
What is the exact meaning of "textbook aerial insertion" in the following passage?
"The only successful aspect of this initiative, which achieved absolutely nothing in operational terms, was the textbook aerial insertion"
The passage is about a covert operation of Nazi Regime in Persia during World War II which was performed very badly without any result. The meaning of "textbook", as a noun or adjective, is ambiguous for me in the context.
It is from this book:
Nazi Secret Warfare
Thanks very much.
