Ernie Pyle’s Sicilian Landing And the Ship’s Shadowed Tale
Ernie Pyle recalls the Sicily invasion where a U S Navy fleet faced shadowed danger from Italian searchlights that trapped the ships at sea. Assault boats hit the beach as the lights vanished and troops fought back with guns closer to shore.
