Of the 6,600 paratroopers of the 101st ‘Screaming Eagles’ Airborne Division who parachuted into France in the early hours of 6 June 1944-D-Day-some 3,500 were listed as missing by midnight that same night. Yet it was only the beginning of their ‘rendezvous with destiny.’ American Eagles is the remarkable true story of the United States 101st Airborne Division. From their rigorous training in ‘Old Jolly’ (England) to their first operational jump in Normandy, Charles Whiting tells the story of this ‘Band of Brothers’, who fought, suffered, and died in the eleven-month campaign that followed.
