Men and equipment were hardly
safe ashore before they were put
to work building their first air
field. Recently, 24 months later,

Moving deep into Tunisia the
unit was given the task of con
structing 20 airfields for the
forthcoming airborne invasion of
Sicily. Thirty days from the start
ing date, after working day and
night, the job was completed. A
