I am having a hard time understanding the steps to do a paratrooper drop. I've read the manuals on the matter and there doesn't seem to be a step by step guide. I'm relatively new to this some could appreciate the help. Thanks much!

I had the same problems - best tip to remember is to use the right mouse button and look for options in the top you normally not see. Works also with doubling combat factor using a O-chit and the combat engineers.

This is how you do it:

Para has to be stacked with the transport plane.

Right click the transport plane, choose load and load the Para aboard the aircraft.
Fly the plane to the target hex and left-click on the target hex (there might be a small delay happening, simply wait until the program finishes calculations).
The para gets dropped
Fly the plane back

Of course, this is without the possible dogfights with enemy FTR's...
