[edit] Purpose

This page is intended as an aid in my further development of articles on US Paratroopers in World War II. I keep trying to follow links to get to everything, trying to remember the quickest way to get everywhere. I'm also trying to keep track of which officers and men we already have articles on, so it's been confusing.
