Breathtaking, but still fictional....
this was real. Pegasus Bridge of course being key. Elements of the Canadian 3rd Division advancing through Gray-sur-mer into contact with the German 736th Inf Reg being interesting.
Of course the Mulberry harbors are awesome in their scale and accomplishment.

Cool all around.
At a Churchill Conference (Portsmouth 2004), I met Geoff Barkaway (now deceased) who piloted one of the gliders into Pegasus Bridge. He received the Destinguished Flying Medal and had a career working with the London Underground. One of the most delightful speakers I've ever heard.

... well, not "into" the bridge, of course. It was an amazing feat for them to come so close, nighttime notwithstanding.
