"When you hear the roar of the engines turning over and you move down the runway and become airborne, you realize at that moment there is no turning back. Then your total faculties are concerned with survival, and that means carrying out things you have been trained to do as well as you possibly can." Led by General James M. Gavin, the men of the famous 82nd Airborne Division parachuted into the skies over Sicily, Salerno, Normandy, and Nijmegen in the ill~fated "Bridge Too Far" encounter. He and his men were among the infantry that fought the Winter War of the Bulge and marched across Germany to meet the Russians in Berlin. The story of the 82nd as told by its commanding officer is an unforgettable chapter in the saga of World War II. Gavin believes that to lead, one must be at the forefront, at the heart of the action. His front~line participation is what makes this book exceptionally vivid: On to Berlin gives a detailed account of the 82nd Airborne's every action, from the level of the fighting man to the strategic controversy over the taking of Berlin before the Russians. Until the drop into Sicily in 1943, the Allied forces had not conducted airborne warfare on a large scale. It fell to Gavin to devise this new form of combat in training and under fire as parachute and glider operations played an increasing role in the European theater. On to Berlin makes a dramatic contribution to the record of America's war in Europe. The reader will encounter an immediacy rarely found in the memoirs of generals of any period. As Frank McCarthy, a top aide to General George C. Marshall, writes, "This is truly a marvelous book. It is written with great panache and style, but at the same time it reflects Gavin's innate modesty. He made me feel as though I were there.".…

Ink notes and underlining to several pages, James Maurice "Jumpin' Jim" Gavin (March 22, 1907 - February 23, 1990) was a senior United States Army Officer, with the rank of lieutenant general, who was the third Commanding General (CG) of the 82nd Airborne Division during World War II. During the war, he was often referred to as "The Jumping General" because of his practice of taking part in combat jumps with the paratroopers under his command; he was the only American general officer to make four combat jumps in the war.Gavin was the youngest major general to command an American division in World War II, being only 37 upon promotion, and the youngest lieutenant general after the war, in March 1955. He was awarded two Distinguished Service Crosses and several other decorations for his service in the war. During combat, he was known for his habit of carrying an M1 Garand rifle typically carried by enlisted U.S. infantry soldiers, as opposed to the M1 carbine rifles traditionally carried by officers besides the Colt Model M1911, .45 caliber pistols. fair to good.
