The 17th Airborne Division, "The Golden Talons", was an airborne infantry division of the United States Army during World War II, commanded by Major General William M. Miley. It was officially activated as an airborne division in April 1943 but was not immediately sent to a combat theater, remaining in the United States to complete its training. During this training process, the division took part in several training exercises, including the Knollwood Maneuver, in which it played a vital part in ensuring that the airborne division remained as a military formation in the U.S. Army. As such it did not take part in the first two large-scale airborne operations conducted by the Allies, Operation Husky and Operation Neptune, transferring to Britain only after the end of Operation Overlord.

  • La 17e division aéroportée ou 17th Airborne Division est une formation militaire aéroportée de l'armée américaine de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, qui fut dirigée par le Major-général . Elle est mobilisée en avril 1943 mais n'est pas immédiatement envoyée au combat, poursuivant d'abord son entraînement sur le sol américain. Au cours de cette formation, la division prend part à plusieurs grands exercices, notamment la manœuvre Knollwood, laquelle constitue un test de l'efficacité opérationnelle des divisions aéroportées après les performances médiocres de celles-ci lors de l'opération Husky (l'invasion de la Sicile). Grâce au succès de cet exercice, le concept de division aéroportée est sauvegardé. Par la suite, la 17e division est transférée au Royaume-Uni après la fin de l'opération Overlor (fr)
