Imagine being the pilot of that C-47 and reading the accounts later of what happened to the troops that landed in St Mere Eglise. We all know they had a job to do and under extremely hostile conditions, but they must have felt the same sense of "I'm responsible for these guys making their target safely" that we have of our crews on the fire ground.

Definitely agree--and the 505th was the most accurately dropped of all the regiments from both the 82nd and 101st Airborne divisions. At Andrews, they had a picture on display of LT Col Krause, CO of the 3rd BN, 505th standing next to the plane before boarding it for the drop zone in Normandy--very cool to see.
