Anotace knihy

Operation Overlord was a watershed in the history of World War Two: no military landing had ever been attempted on such a huge scale before. Half a century on, the Normandy landings continue to attract huge interest. This is the first book devoted to the engagement of the the American gliders on the 6th of June, 1944. Part One recalls the history of the glider and its development within the US Army following the staggering successes of the German glider landings in the early years of the war: * creation of the piloting schools * intensive ground & flying experiences * * different training programmes * designing and manufacturing the gliders * Part Two describes and illustrates the D-Day action. Each action is documented with first hand testimonies describing the first hours of the landings. Carrying men and equipment of the 82nd and 101st Airborne, the pilots contributed in a large degree to the successes of the airborne troops in Normandy.
