Lieutenant General Browning led and commanded the 1st Airborne Corps, which was formed under the command of the British 1st Airborne Division, the 82nd Airborne Division of the United States, the 101st Airborne Division of the United States Army, and the Polish Paratrooper Brigade.

The command of this airborne force was handed over to Montgomery to command, while the US-Canada joint 1st Special Service and the newly formed 73rd Airborne Division, 68th Airborne Division, and 118th Airborne Division were handed over to Alexander to attack Cassino for commanding operations.

Eisenhower and Five-Star Admiral Henry Harry Arnold, known as the "father of the modern American Air Force," were responsible for the command of more than 4,000 transport aircraft.

The current five-star Admiral Arnold is in charge of 16 air groups (242 combat aviation groups under his jurisdiction), almost more than 3 million people, and about 80,000 aircraft of various types.

In fact, he was originally going to stay in the United States to command the air war in the Pacific, but because the war on the Western Front was getting worse and worse, it was becoming more and more unfavorable to the British and American allies, especially the British and American air forces have suffered heavy losses recently, not only have they lost a large number of planes and pilots, but even Britain's territorial airspace has been threatened by German air raids, and many buildings, military installations, and weapons and equipment manufacturing plants have also been blown up.

As for the civilians and officers and soldiers of the British mainland, a large number of them were also killed and injured by the German air raids.

That's why he was persuaded by President Roosevelt to go to the battlefield on the Western Front and personally command the latest Western Front counterattack, the Battle of Cassino, and the Second Landing in Sicily.

This time, the new fighters involved not only P-51 Mustang fighter-bombers, but also a small number of F-80 Meteor fighters.

Although the F-80A Meteor jet fighter equipped with a J33-A-11 turbojet engine and six 12.7 mm machine guns in the nose has not yet had any actual combat experience, the US military still decided to dispatch these new jet fighters in order to confront the new German jet fighters.

At the same time, the U.S. Navy also manufactured, developed, and produced the Vought XF6U-1, the "Corsair" carrier-based fighter, the McDonald XFD-1, the "Phantom" carrier-based fighter, and the North American FJ-1 "Fury", or "Vixen" carrier-based fighter.

Because these three carrier-based fighters are the latest three carrier-based jet fighters that the US military can develop and manufacture, but due to the early appearance of the F-80A Meteor jet fighter, the US military has focused their attention on the research and development of the McDonald F2H-1 "Banshee" fighter.

It is a single-seat jet carrier-based fighter, one of the main carrier-based aircraft used by the U.S. military in combat in the Korean War, and the only jet carrier-based fighter used by the Royal Canadian Navy.

Of course, during November 1943, this new jet carrier-based fighter that was ahead of the times had not yet been developed and produced.

Moreover, the R&D and production department of the U.S. military is still stuck in the R&D and design of the XFD-1 "Phantom" fighter and the XF2D-1 "Banshee" fighter. D. Bucky and his engineering team.

Although the current J34-E-22 turbojet engine has been gradually developed, it has not yet been fully active, so it still needs to carry out a more in-depth research and development process.

As for the J34-E-30 and Westinghouse J34-E-39 turbojet engines, they were not even developed in the shadows.

"How's the situation with our airborne now?"

"Did the airborne troops of Cassino and Sicily succeed?"

"In addition, the number of casualties, including our transport aircraft and aviation units, I need to get a detailed report on these battles immediately!"

When Montgomery returned to his 21st Army Group, the five-star Admiral Arnold, who was at the Air Force Headquarters in Algiers, was very calm and composed in giving his orders, so that all the Air Force combat staff officers and communications were operating efficiently, and immediately reported to him on the prepared battle situation.

"How did the Germans know the date and time of our airborne sneak attack? Who exactly betrayed our news of combat operations! ”

When the five-star Admiral Arnold watched the convoy and air force under his command being ambushed by the Germans, his face suddenly became very difficult and stern.

"Director William Joseph Donovan is seriously communicating and discussing this matter with the high-ranking officers of the British Intelligence Service 5 and the 6th Intelligence Service, and the results will be achieved slowly!"

Air Force Operations Staff Officer Pierre immediately responded.

"This is the first time that intelligence has been leaked, is it true that our intelligence service and the British intelligence service are so bad? Or are they just ornaments, and they don't have any strength at all! ”

Hearing this, the five-star Admiral Arnold roared angrily.

For his angry scolding, all the personnel of the entire aviation command department lowered their heads in fear and went to their own affairs, and no one dared to touch his anger now, so as not to get into trouble.

Because in their cognition, it is rare for Arnold Five-Star Admiral to roar and insult others so angrily, so everyone knows that Arnold Five-Star Admiral is really angry at this moment; And it was a very angry situation, so no one dared to say anything, and continued to work silently.
