Dominique Francois
On June 6, 1944, paratroopers of the legendary 82nd Airborne

days of action without relief, without replacements.
Every mission accomplished.”

from 82nd veterans, and more than 350 photographs and maps -
most published here for the first time - as well as a selection of
full-color photographs of World War 2 era airborne uniforms and
equipment.
