441st Troop Carrier Group

[GuitarFreak]

I was having a discussion with my grandfather about WWII. He flew in the 441st Troop Carrier Group, and piloted a C-47. He told me about how he dropped troops on Omaha Beach...and showed me a paper that had times and things like that written down. He dropped troops at 1:36AM, and they lost a plane. It was right behind his. Another interesting thing...he was in Operation Market Garden. Just thought I'd bring that up...since we just did that map. 

If anyone can find a really good site about them, I'd appreciate it.

And I am. If my camera worked, I'd get a pic of his medals.
