History is important, Share it!!

June 5, 1944, two members of the ‘Filthy Thirteen’ with the 101st Airborne Division, sport Indian-style mohawks and apply war paint to one another before jumping into Normandy.

The Filthy Thirteen was the name given to the 1st Demolition Section of the Regimental Headquarters Company of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division. They were ordered to secure or destroy the bridges over the Douve River during the Normandy Invasion of Europe in June 1944. Half were either killed, wounded or captured, but they accomplished their mission.

This unit was best known for the famous photo which appeared in Stars and Stripes, showing two members wearing Indian-style “mohawks” and applying war paint to one another. The inspiration for this came from unit sergeant Jake McNiece, who was part Choctaw.

ON THIS DAY: 80 years ago the first USS Yorktown aircraft carrier, CV-5, sunk at the Battle of Midway.

At the time, our aircraft carrier (CV-10) was still under construction and named Bon Homme Richard. The Fighting Lady was renamed Yorktown a few months later in honor of CV-5.

Learn more about CV-5 and the Battle of Midway in an exhibit on the Hangar Deck when you visit Patriots Point.
