September 17, 1944 . . . In sun-swept skies, the C-47s of 9th Troop Carrier Command deliver their fighting cargo, the paratroopers of the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions above Holland’s soft drop zones. Deemed “Operation Market Garden,” the finest American, British, and Polish Airborne forces led the charge to enter Germany through Holland and to liberate the Dutch people after four years of Nazi occupation. However, fierce enemy resistance and blunders by high command would see the brave Airborne troops stopped short of the Rhine but, not before they liberated part of Holland and earned the name: “The Angels from Above.” Individually numbered and autographed by artist Matt Hall and market garden veterans Don Malarkey, Frank Perconte, Wild Bill Guarnere, Forrest Guth, Earl McClung, Joe Lesniewski, Buck Taylor, Bed Kendig, Hank Zimmerman, Buck Compton, Babe Heffron and Clancy Lyall. ALSO INCLUDES: - A metal piece of an 81st Squadron C-47 (depicted in "Angels from Above") that flew on D-Day, Market Garden, Bastogne re-supply, and the Berlin Airlift. - 82nd Airborne & 101st Airborne pins - Informative Certificate of Authenticity
