Description

The 316th Troop Carrier Group: A History of Valor and Sacrifice In February 1942, the 316th Troop Carrier Group was formed at Patterson Field, Ohio, marking the beginning of a remarkable chapter in American military aviation history. Over the next three years, the Group would play a pivotal role in supporting Allied forces across North Africa, Sicily, France, Holland, and Germany, delivering vital supplies and conducting daring air evacuations. From the deserts of Egypt to the battlefields of Europe, the 316th Troop Carrier Group's bravery and sacrifice would be recognized with numerous awards and decorations, including nine battle stars, three Distinguished Unit Citations, and numerous Distinguished Flying Crosses. This book tells the story of the Group's history, based primarily on official records, with personal recollections from members and a roster of over 2,700 names. With over 470 pages of detailed history, this illustrated edition provides a comprehensive account of the 316th Troop Carrier Group's remarkable story, shedding light on the often-overlooked role of troop carrier units in World War II.
