[15] The history of the 11th Airborne Division tells the following story about the landing of the third plane. “An antiaircraft machine gun crew, which outfit is forgotten now, was in position on the alert for enemy aircraft. When the plane landed and came to a halt, they called across the small river: ‘Need any help?’ ‘No, everything OK,’ someone yelled back, and the machine gun crew went back to watching the skies for enemy aircraft.” Maj. Edward M. Flanagan, Jr., The Angels, a History of the 11th Airborne Division, 1943–1946 (Washington, 1948), p. 34. [↑]
