Customer Reviews

Screaming good read.
I have read quite a lot of books which portray the American Airborne involvement on D-Day.This book by George Koskimaki ranks as one of the best.Probaly because Mr Koskimaki,an original screaming eagle himself,made the D-Day drop with the 101st Airborne that fateful night.His actual first hand account from the build up to D-Day,through to the actual drop itself and beyond is superb.If like me you wanted to know what happened on that night,when scores of Paratroopers were misdropped and scattered all over the Normandy countryside,then this book is for you.Eyewitness accounts are given by the Commanders,the platoon sergeants,medics,chaplains,and the lowly privates.This book is a narrative which takes us through some of the most important days in American history.

This is D-day with 101st AB Div!
This is a superb collection of eyewitness accounts, unit by unit, of the 101st AB Div on D-Day. As a Badged Guide with The Guild of Battlefield Guides this book has been close to hand throughout my numerous trips to Normandy. An easily used reference book, or even a story in its own right this has to be the first choice for those looking to go beyond the story of Coy E 2/506th PIR "Band of Brothers".

I cannot recommend this book highly enough.
