An account of the Glider Pilot Regiment's role in Operation Tonga, the first stage of the Airborne assault on Normandy. The story is told through the eyes of those who were there - glider pilots, paratroopers, pathfinders, tug crews, passengers. It covers the Operation from training through to evacuation after D-Day. The Operation was vital to the success of D-Day and a full appendix gives details of participants and casualties. The book was published to coincide with the 50th anniversary.
