drdjp11 Posted November 12, 2022 Author Share Posted November 12, 2022 Just finished re-reading Cornelius Ryan's A bridge Too Far. Brilliantly written. So sad he passed away right after it was published. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COURTNEY R A D I O E D FROM LONDON In the greatest airborne operation ever conceived and executed, 300 miles of planes, gliders, paratroopers, artillery, jeeps and supplies dropped out of the heavens onto Holland. The man responsible for this D-Day in aviation was General Brereton—or as his men know him, Number One Brass. Nothing is missed by those large, unblinking dark eyes behind the sunglasses. His lips are the only index to his displeasure or satisfaction. If a shadow of constriction passes over them, it signifies that a group is perhaps not quite as tight as it should be. But the proximity of the general's plane has a quick effect. "Nothing is missed by those large, unblinking dark eyes behind the sunglasses.". Well, he did miss the fact that his insistence on landing well away from Arnhem Bridge doomed the operation (insofar as one decision can be said to have done so). This Group Build has to happen for many reasons, not least the vast number and diversity of subject for a specific battle. Maybe there needs to be more battle-specific GBs? I always like them. Yes, add me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 This one deserves a bump, it too good and too significant not to be included in the 2024 GBs Cheers Pat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
