This is a great book on the 511th parachute infantry regiment, easily the best source out there unless you happen to own all the wings aloft magazines and interviewed most of these men. 5/5 book. Anyone with an interest in the war in the pacific or ww2 paratroopers should pick this one up.

Trevor, Good to see someone interested in the 511th. My grandfather was in B 511 PIR and jumped into Los Banos. I have my grandfather's original uniform, cap and medals (including silver star). Plus his letters and memoirs (not looking to sell). 

 

I saw that you have interviewed lots of the men from the 11th ABN, as have I. In fact, I met Gen. Flanagen when I was a Lieutenant in the 82nd ABN (fun fact). Bottomline, I am working on a book concerning B Co 511th that is definitely different than Holm's book which is really about D Co and his Grandpa, plus lots of stuff borrowed from Flanagan's book (as most of the records were burned in the 1970s, we are really at a lose without him).  Love to see what research others have done and try to get more detail into the fighting, plus share whatever I have gathered.
