Thirty years of research and investigation were required to gather and identify the photographs, most of which are previously unpublished. This work is the combination of three image collections and constitutes without doubt the most impressive collection in the world.

To produce it, Mark Bando, American historian of the 101st Airborne, Emmanuel Allain and Michel De Trez, the founders of the Centre Historique des Parachutistes du Jour-J, pooled their knowledge and their collections.

Mark Bando began collecting this history while most of us were not yet born. He gathered his knowledge over the years, at the source, from veterans while their memories were still intact.

Never before had the epic of the 101st Airborne to liberate Carentan and link the landing beaches been evoked with such attention to detail.

235 x 295 cm, 450+ illustrations. Bilingual: English / French, 368 pages.

Why take an interest in pieces of rusty wire mesh? That is a question frequently put to the author. The "American wire mesh" was there, beneath the wheels of aircraft landing on the temporary airstrips laid down by the Allies after June 1944; and it is still there, before our eyes, salvaged, reused and repurposed by the Normans. Where did this mesh come...
