The Sky Men is the story of F Company of the 513th Parachute
Infantry Regiment, 17th U.S. Airborne Division. They were all
volunteers to a new, dangerous, and elite corps - Airborne. In the
midst of the hardest European winter in forty years, the 17th
Airborne Division was committed to action against the German Army
west of Bastogne, Belgium. From their first day in action, the
green paratroopers - caught up in the toughest fighting of the
Bulge when the American Army stood up and began slugging its way
back to the start line - attacking through knee deep snow and over
bald terrain, demonstrated exceptional courage in closing with the
enemy. In March 1945, Operation Varsity sends F Company parachuting
across the Rhine and into the final battle for the conquest of Nazi
Germany. The Sky Men includes many never before used documents,
with the personal accounts of nearly one hundred men of F Company
and other associated organizations.
