Few Sicilian towns claimed greater antiquity of Gela, where the center of the American assault was to fall. Founded on a limestone hillock by Greek colonists from Rhodes and Crete in 688 bc, Gela had suffered from the usual Mediterranean calamities, including betrayal, pillage, and, in 311 bc, the butchery of five thousand citizens by a rival warlord. The ruins of sanctuaries and shrines dotted the modern city of 32,000, along with tombs ranging in vintage from Bronze Age to Hellenistic and Byzantine eras. The rich "Geloan fields," as Virgil called, in the Aeneid, grew oleanders, palms, and Saracen olives. Aeschylus the father of Attic drama, spent his last years in Gela writing about fate, revenge and love gone bad in the Oresteia; legend, the playwright had been killed here when an eagle dropped a tortoise on his bald head.

Patton planned a different kind of air attack by his invasion vanguard. In the night of July 9-10, more than three thousand paratroopers in four battalions of paratroopers in several crossroads outside Gela vital to prevent the Axis counterattacks against the 1st Division beach landing. Leading this assault was the dashing Colonel James Maurice Gavin, who at thirty-six was on his way to becoming the youngest general Army major from the Civil War. Born in Brooklyn to Irish immigrants and orphaned as a child, Gavin had been raised by adoptive parents Hardscrabble in the coal mines of Pennsylvania. Leaving school after eighth grade, he worked as a barber's helper, shoe clerk, and station manager filling before joining the Army at seventeen. The wangle an appointment to West Point, where the cadet was mediocre. As a young officer he washed out of flight school, An evaluation of the superior as recently as 1941 concluded: "This officer does not seem particularly suited to be a paratrooper. Ascetic and fearless, with magnetism "to attractive women," said Jim Gavin was in fact born to go to the sound of guns. "He could jump higher, yell higher, spit further, and fight harder than any man I've ever seen, "one subordinate.

His 505th Infantry Regiment Paratrooper, part of the 82nd Airborne Division, had organized in central Tunisia. Private Gavin doubts about the mission of Sicily – "many lives be lost within a few hours, "he wrote – and with good reason. The 82nd had received only about one third of training time as much as some of other U.S. divisions. The fans Allied parachute operations in North Africa were marked by misfortune and miscalculation. No large-scale night jump Battle had been tried, and many injuries have plagued the division in Tunisia – including fifty-three fractures in his legs and ankles during a single day jump in early June – that training is reduced. Much of the Husky planning had been done by officials who had no flying experience and whose ideas were suffused with fantasy. Transport pilots had little experience in sailing at night, but to avoid flying over trigger happy gunners in the Allied fleet, planes, staying low to avoid radar Axis three shifts would have to dogleg offshore in the dark. airborne units had not yet learn how to drop a load heavier than three hundred pounds, much less a howitzer or a jeep. A "para-mule" broke three legs, after putting the creature out of its misery, paratroopers used the channel for bayonet practice. However, the ranks "generally agreed that the domain of training had reached the stage where the mission was "in the bag '" wrote one AAF officer, who later admitted that "it is possible excess of optimism. "

At the time when the fleet neared Malta Hewitt, Gavin and his men had come aboard 226 C-47 Dakotas near Kairouan. Painted faces black with burnt cork, each soldier wore a U.S. flag on the right sleeve and a white cloth tied to the left as a sign of recognition of the night. Days earlier, an 82nd Airborne platoon had circulated through the 1st Division to familiarize with ground troops and baggy shirt release used by paratroopers. Parachutes occupied the C-47 "seats, the soldiers sixteen in each suit sitting on the floor of the fuselage, the challenge of practice the invasion and password: George Marshall. Dysentery tormented the regiment and the men struggled with their gear and Mae Wests to squat on the honeypots placed around the square of the aircraft. Doctors distributed Benzedrine to the officers, morphine Syrett all.

Since the aircraft began to roll – cloud churning up the dust so thick that some pilots had to get by instrument – a weatherman appeared on state aircraft Gavin Commander Steere's prediction of wind above average on high. "Colonel Gavin, is Colonel Gavin here?" They said to tell you that the wind is going to be thirty-five miles per hour from west to east, " He said. "They thought you'd want to know." Fifteen is considered the maximum safe speed for jumping. Another messenger staggered with an enormous barracks bag stuffed prisoners of war with tags. "It was supposed to put one on every prisoner you capture," said Gavin. An hour after takeoff, a personnel officer threw the bag in the sea.
