Anybody out there?

I saw a PBS show last night, "WWII Battle Force" or some such, 
particularly about paratroopers.  Did you know that when the Facists in 
Italy were overthown, Mussolini  was put in a mountain top detainment 
facility?  Hitler promptly sent in paratroopers to liberate him, which they 
did.  Flew him away in a very small plane.

It set me thinking about how dark creatures would bring in their "shock 
troops".  I am supposing that a greedo could carry a goblin, and a 
dragon could allow a dozen goblins or a few orcs to ride on its back.

Visions of "Wizard of Oz" flying monkeys.

Any ideas along this line?
