From Wikipedia:
David Daniel "Mickey" Marcus (22 February 1901 – 10 June 1948) was a United States Army colonel who assisted Israel during the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, and who became Israel's first modern general[1] (Hebrew: Aluf). He was killed by friendly fire, when he was mistaken for an enemy infiltrator while returning to Israeli positions at night.
Previously to that, he jumped with the 101st Airborne as part of the D-Day forces - while having no previous parachute training.
