Day by Osprey books by
leading military author Ken Ford available from the military bookshop.
At 0016hrs on 6 June 1944 a Horsa glider ground to a
halt a mere 60yards from the Orne Canal bridge at Benouville in
Normandy. A small group of British paratroopers burst from it and
stormed the bridge within minutes. The Allied liberation of
Nazi-occupied Europe had begun. Within a few hours landing craft
would swarm towards Ouistreham as British 3rd Division swept ashore at
Sword Beach. The battle would then begin to break through to relieve
the paratroopers. In the third of four D-Day volumes, Ken Ford
details the assault by British 6th Airborne Division and the British
landings on Sword Beach that secured the vital left flank of the invasion.

The Longest Day by
Cornelius Ryan.
Shortly before the inevitable Allied assault on
Fortress Europe in 1944, Field-Marshall Erwin Rommel remarked to an aide -
The first twenty-four hours of the invasion will be decisive. For
the Allies, as well as for Germany, it will be the longest
day. Cornelius Ryans acclaimed account of 6th June 1944, which
has sold over 10 million copies, takes the reader from the planning of the
worlds greatest ever amphibious landing up to its implementation. In
interviews with survivors, from the highest ranking officers of both
sides, the airborne troops who opened the Battle for Normandy before dawn,
the poor bloody infantry who waded ashore against the devastating fire of
the defending Germans to the defenders themselves, The Longest Day
captures the horror and the glory of D-Day. Individual and
collective acts of heroism are recounted as well as foul-ups and mistakes.
Illustrated paperback with 350 pages.
Book serial number W54. Price £7.99.

D
Day 1944 (4), Gold & Juno Beaches by Ken Ford
Operation Overlord, the Allied invasion of Normandy,
was the greatest sea-borne military operation in history. At the
heart of the invasion and key to its success were the landings of British
50th Division on Gold Beach and Canadian 3rd Division on Juno Beach.
Not only did they provide the vital link between the landings of British
3rd Division on Sword Beach and the Americans to the west on Omaha, they
would be crucial to the securing of the beachhead and the drive inland to
Bayeux and Caen. Ken Ford details the assault that began the
liberation of Nazi-occupied Europe.
