Silently
out of the night they came. With flaps deployed, three timber and plywood
Horsa gliders swept swiftly down through the night skies, rapidly closing
with their objective – Pegasus Bridge over the Caen Canal. On board,
with tension etched deep into their blackened faces, men from the
Oxfordshire & Buckinghamshire Light Infantry, part of the British 6th
Airborne Division, braced themselves for landing. They, and sappers from
the Royal Engineers, were about to become the first fighting force to land
in France on D-Day. They were about to make history. This new graphite
collectors edition is personally signed by veterans who fought in the epic
encounter at Pegasus Bridge, assaulted the beaches and one of the six
Halifax pilots who towed the gliders into action on that momentous night. THE
