D-Day Drop "Stick 21" by Robert Taylor

The Limited Edition

At 23:45 on the night of June 5th - 1944 - the legendary 101ST Airborne paratroopers (the notorious Filthy Thirteen) jumped into France near the village of St. Mere Eglise in the final hours before the D Day landings. They were the Screaming Eagles most notorious unit comprising of a small bunch of raw and tough young men. Hard drinking and savage fighting - and that was only in training - with scant regard for authority. The reputation of this unique bunch of renegades was formidable within the ranks of the 101ST. Officially they were the First Demolition Squadron -HQ Company - 506th PIR 101ST Airborne. Unofficially they were know as The Filthy Thirteen.

The prints in this new limited edition feature the 101ST Airborne legendary squad of elite paratroopers jumping into battle in the vital hours before the D Day landings commenced. The pilots of the 440th Troop Carrier Group struggle to keep their Dakotas level as deadly flak pummels the formation. Prints in the Edition are signed by some of the Airborne Divisions most respected veterans.
