I'll have to look up North Africa - I don't recall it as having been a paratroop disaster. Most of the planes ended up landing an the men had to walk to their objective.
As I recall, the primary disaster at Sicily was friendly fire.
I don’t remember a lot of losses in North Africa either. I think the problem was the overall experience said the doctrine behind paratroop landings did not work. I see from Sicily, they painted three white stripes on every airplane that was part of the invasion,
The error is mine. The other problem for the Allies was in Italy. I just checked Eisenhower’s book again.
