D-Day: Crash Landing

In the dead of night, airborne troops become the first Allied soldiers to set foot in France. Engineless gliders carrying men and equipment crash-land behind enemy lines. A paratrooper lands on a church steeple… yet somehow survives the battle. And, with Pegasus Bridge in the crosshairs, D-Day claims its first British casualty… A Noiser production, written by Edward White. As featured on D-Day: The Tide Turns.
