Information from "The Day of Battle" by Rick Atkinson.

"Two companies of Rajputana Rifles reached Castle Hill"
"After the second day, resupply came only by air, in belly tanks dropped by A-36s from fifty feet, or by parachute."

500 A-36s built yet popular history books seldom mention A-36 in combat. One of the few mentions I've seen and it's just a low level supply drop!

tdhat chapter and those stories from Atkinson have always stuck with me since I read his seris why? I don't know but I am glad you metion it
