Formally activated at Camp Mackall, North Carolina, in February 1943, the 11th Airborne Division went on to become one of the most distinctive American formations of the Pacific War. Known as the Angels, the division conducted operations on Leyte and Luzon before playing a central role in the audacious Los Baños Prison Raid, one of the most celebrated rescue operations of World War II. Its wartime service concluded in Japan itself, where the division served as a leading element of the postwar occupation.

This Casemate Illustrated Special offers a concise operational history of the 11th Airborne's Pacific campaigns, anchored in first-person accounts and supported by extensive illustrations including rare and previously unpublished photographs.

The United States Army reactivated the 11th Airborne Division on June 6, 2022, bringing fresh institutional and public interest to the division's wartime heritage. For readers of airborne history, Pacific War operations, or the modern legacy of America's Army, Angels' story is long overdue for this treatment.
