Legion Para Posted March 8, 2014 Share #1 Posted March 8, 2014 A few years ago Richard D. Disco wrote an autobiography. He was a S-2 Scout for the 509th. Has anyone read it? Is it worth trying to find a copy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cperkins501 Posted March 8, 2014 Share #2 Posted March 8, 2014 I have a copy. I haven't made it all the way through yet, but it covers his combat all the way from North Africa to the Bulge. At the least, there is some valuable information within. Also, perhaps the book has jump rosters in the back for the 509's jumps into North Africa and Southern France. It helped me research one of my groups, when I came across the trooper's name in the jump manifest for B Co. in Southern France. Needless to say, that was pretty exciting. Also, there are not many memoirs written by 509 troopers, so that makes his story more unique too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
