SWATTING AT TIGERS
Biazzo Ridge, Sicily, July 11, 1943: In the early morning hours of July 10th, Colonel James Gavin and the 505th Parachute 
Regiment were scattered over much of Southern Sicily. Gavin landed 20 miles east of the selected drop zone, while most of 
his regiment came down as far as 60 miles from the planned landing site. Of the 3405 troops that had left Africa under his 
command, Gavin marched his small command towards the sounds of battle to the west, collecting troops as he went. After clearing 
Biazzo Ridge of Italians, Gavin's force - now numbering some 250 paratroopers and infantrymen of the 45th infantry Division - 
pushed on. Advancing down the road along which the Italians had just withdrawn, they heard the sound of distant tank engines 
around the bend just ahead. Gavin was about to walk into the eastern pincer of the Hermann Goering Division's two-pronged 
attack against the invasion beaches.
