This unique account of D-Day
history provides an unusual look into the US Army's preparation of a new type
of World War II warfare, that of airborne operations. The book describes, using
personal interviews with the veterans involved, how young men who had never
even flown in an airplane before the war were trained to fly into combat, or to
parachute into the dark of night. The
narrative personalizes the events of D-Day for a small group of men of the 77th
Troop Carrier Squadron and G Company of the 501st Parachute Infantry
Regiment. Most, including the author's
uncle, did not survive to see the dawn on D-Day morning.
century, when research to find out what happened to his uncle led the author to
meet some of the survivors of that night, resulting in what is believed to be
the first reunion of a D-Day pilot with the men he dropped on that fateful
morning, 56 years earlier. Many children
of the "next generation" are making efforts to find out what happened to their
fathers and uncles in World War II. This
story is a classic example of the joy and heartbreak that can result from the
success of such a search.
