Speaking of the Horsa gliders, I still marvel at how the gliders assigned to take Pegasus Bridge managed to be so successful. I have visited the site and was absolutely amazed and still can't grasp how they landed spot on target. With a nasty stretch of canal close on one hand and some unforgiving countryside on the other, no nav aids or landing lights to assist and yet they managed to land within 50 yards of the bridge. Absolutely amazing!
