Bolt Action US Airborne Plastic Boxed Set
WWII 28mm Paratroopers Miniatures – Elite American Airborne Forces
🪂 "Currahee! We Stand Alone!" – The Legacy of the US Airborne 🪂
The night sky over Normandy erupted with anti-aircraft fire as the C-47s carried their precious cargo—America's elite paratroopers—toward their drop zones. Through the chaos, Lieutenant Richard Winters of Easy Company, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, checked his equipment one final time. The deafening roar of flak punctuated the aircraft's drone as the green light finally illuminated. "Let's go! Let's go!" shouted the jumpmaster. One by one, they leapt into the darkness.
Scattered across the Norman countryside, these elite soldiers would fight against overwhelming odds, often isolated and cut off from support. Yet they would prevail through superior training, leadership, and an indomitable fighting spirit that would make them legends. As the 101st Airborne Division's motto proudly proclaimed: "Rendezvous with Destiny."
