You comment on the Market Garden pilots C130 Techie, they deserve a mention.
This is an edited extract from my brother in law's story of landing on day two.
It was written in a POW camp shortly after he was captured there.
"You should have seen the gliders lying about in the fields below belonging to those who had landed on Sunday. They were as thick as flies on an empty jam tin, it was a wonderful sight.
I did not know how we were going to manage to land as there was hardly any room left, but down we came in a steep dive until about 100 yards from the ground he straightened her out and slid down to the ground just missing the other gliders already there by inches. He could not have made a better landing. "
