Mark
Bando's first book, left, and his second book , right, about the
101st Airborne during WWII. Mark's knowledge of the 101st is outstanding!
He is willing to help others in their quest for information about
the veterans and units that fought in this elite division. Mark
has also be of great help to us in Eco 506th and 1-401st
with information about the unit's uniforms and detailed history.
We would like to thank Mark for his efforts in helping us get
the facts right so as to better portray these great fighting unit's,
and are looking forward to reading more from him in his furture
projects and our never ending questions for the details!
Thank you! |

Mark
Bando's contribution to the 2nd Armored division and
the break-out into France, of which the "HELL ON WHEELS"
division took an active roll in, losing tanks and men at every
bend in the road and village and town along it's way !
Mark has been labeled a 'borderline Revisionist' by others
for some of his written accounts! Read more on TRIGGER
TIME.
As with his other books, Mark tells it like it was, from the men
who were there, and from the research he has done!!
An exceptional book!! Controversial by some!! |
