Flames of War American 101st Airborne Tin
Elite Paratroopers of the Screaming Eagles in a Collectible Set
Historical Background:
The 101st Airborne Division, known as the “Screaming Eagles,” is one of the most famous U.S. military units of World War II. As a key part of the D-Day landings in June 1944, the 101st parachuted behind enemy lines to secure bridges, roads, and towns vital to the Allied advance from the Normandy beaches. They fought fiercely in Operation Market Garden and held the line during the brutal siege of Bastogne in the Battle of the Bulge. Highly trained in airborne operations, the 101st became a symbol of American resilience, courage, and elite combat performance. In Flames of War, these troops represent the best of American infantry—well-equipped, mobile, and determined.
