Probably the 2 best sources are Rick Atkinson's An Army at Dawn and the Osprey Battle Order Book on US Airborne Divisions in the Mediterranean theater.  The first covers Operation Torch thru the capture of the DAK in Tunisia.  It has some pages on specifically Airborne ops--the capture of an arfield springs to mind.  The second does North Africa, Sicily, and Italy.  It has tons of TO&E data covering the period thru 1943.
