BAR M1918A2 - Did The 101st Jump With These ?

Hello all,

I'm just curious, were the 101st Airborne given the BAR M1918A2's for the jump? I know they were given the M1 Garand, Thompson and M1A1 Carbines, even the .30 cal Browning M1919 LMG's. I just want to know if anyone from the 101st were actually issued any BAR's? I watched Band of Brothers last night again and I saw in two episodes some 101st had the BAR. One is from episode Crossroads, when Winters lead the assault on the other side of the ****. One paratrooper had the BAR with bipod extended. Another scene is from episode The Breaking Point, there's a 101st BAR rifleman suppressing the sniper and the Germans with the BAR. Also I saw another one near Winters in the forest. Anyways I just hope to know if any of you have any information on whether or not the paratroopers were given the BAR's, or did they pick these up from... the Glider troopers? Any info would be appreciated

Thank you

I did not find the right solution from the internet.
