Battling Buzzards: The Odyssey of the 517th Parachute Regimental Combat Team, 1943-1945
Gerald Astor
Convinced by 1943 that the assault upon Nazi-held Europe would yield swiftly to elite troops, the U. S. Army created parachute regimental combat teams. Drawing on daring volunteers willing to hurl themselves from airplanes and hit the ground fighting, the 517th PRCT became one of the most highly trained airborne units in the world.
