Day Drop - Stick 21 by Robert Taylor. (AP) NRG669DHM6108AP. Day Drop Stick 21 by Robert Taylor. At 23. 45 on the night of 5 June 1944, the 101st Airborne's most legendary unit of combat paratroopers the notorious 'Filthy Thirteen' jumped into France near the village of Sainte Mere Eglise, in the final hours before the D Day landings. They were the Screaming Eagles' most notorious unit, a small bunch of raw, tough, ruthless young men. Hard drinking and savage fighting and that was only in training
