"The Air Force and armor were the thunder of Desert Storm," said Gen. Schwarzkopf, "while the 101st was the lightning." This is the story of the Screaming Eagles - the hell-bent, heliborne soldiers of the 101st who hurled the lightning bolts.The first one struck to begin the air war, a daring night raid which punched a hole in Iraq's radar fence for allied bombers to light up the sky over Baghdad on January 17, 1991.
