In this episode, show host and 11th Airborne Division historian Jeremy C. Holm discusses the final Allied airborne operation of World War II, Task Force Gypsy.
Jeremy is excited to share with you the history of this often-overlooked airborne operation from June of 1945. In this video you'll learn about the 11th Airborne Division's mission to seal off Luzon's Cagayan Valley in an effort to prevent Japanese forces from moving towards Aparri for a potential "Dunkirk" rescue.
After watching the 11th Airborne Division's Angels in action, US Sixth Army's General Walter Krueger said they were "the fightingest outfit I have ever seen!"
