Some very nice shots of glider landings but includes some scenes that have been cut from the Arnhem operation (such as Border Regiment on Van Lennepweg). What was the aircraft where the Paras were jumping from doors either side? John
but includes some scenes that have been cut from the Arnhem operation Yes, I noticed that, too. What was the aircraft where the Paras were jumping from doors either side? That was the Curtiss C-46 Commando and the paratroops were members of US 513th PIR. This was the only time in WWII that the Commmando was used operationally. I got some great stories from 513th vets about converting from the C-47 to the C-46. Steve W.
two YouTube - Operation Varsity (2 of 2) Very good material, although indeed, it has some Arnhem-features in it. Liked the one at about 6:34 in part 2 though!
