    Summary

    Doctor Winnie Allen just wanted to contribute to the war effort. She had no idea that when she volunteered her services to train medics in the paratrooper division that she would end up on the other side of the world and risking her life for these men. She had no idea that everything wrong with her life was going to compound in the middle of a world war. Her major concern was her brothers, all scattered in different theaters of the war. She certainly had no intention of letting anyone worm their way into her heart—friend or not. But fate has its own plans—and so does the war.

    Summary

    "There is no reason why a woman cannot go wherever a man goes — and further."
    - Harriet Chalmers Adams, American novelist and travel writer, the first female pioneering journalist to be invited to the French frontlines in World War I

    Six months following the attacks of Pearl Harbor, new Bryn Mawr graduate, Esther Armstrong has been sticking it out at Fort Bragg in North Carolina in W-Sector; a small selection of women in the Armed Forces that report and photograph the Home Front for the American people to see. It's only when a special request, via Colonel Robert Sink, from Camp Toccoa, Georgia, of the 506th Airborne Division, requests the presence of a war correspondent to document one of the newest additions to the military, the Airborne. Specifically, Easy Company of the 506th. Esther enlists the assistance of fellow combat photographer, Mercy Codona, and the two travel down to Camp Toccoa to begin documentation of Easy Company and the Airborne.

    Esther and Mercy follow the men of Easy Company through training and all the way to D-Day, where suddenly, they meet women who have been fighting this war for years, whose stories Esther refuses to let go untold.

    Summary

    Andy Fisher is absolutely certain of three things: first, pretending to be someone else was only fun when getting caught didn't mean certain death; second, Adolf Hitler could go screw himself; and third, whoever thought jumping out of a perfectly good airplane was a stroke of genius definitely had another thing coming.

    Summary

    In the midst of World War II, the Army begins their quest to introduce a new concept to history, Airborne Infantry. But, it seems the Army isn't satisfied with just this.

    Project Blitz, the introduction of women to the battlefield in a medical capacity. Coincidentally, the Army has decided to implement this project in their new Airborne Infantry. Easy Company will not only have to deal with jumping out of planes into enemy territory, but deal with young Isabella M. Vega who hides a big secret and an amazing musical talent. Will Easy Company be able to learn to look past their beliefs and accept their new medic?

    (none of this is real and is written with the tv show characters in mind and with upmost respect to the real men who fought)
