Son second bataillon a fait beaucoup pour gagner cette réputation, et l'intrépide commandant, le Lt. Col. Benjamin H. Vandervoort, y est pour beaucoup. Si besoin, ses deux Distinguished Service Cross sont là pour étayer cette allégation. Parmi les histoires d'héroïsme les plus fantastiques de la seconde guerre mondiale, l'on trouve celle du Lt. Col. Vandervoort, qui emmena son bataillon de parachutistes à la victoire malgré sa cheville cassée lors d'une chute à Ste. Mere Eglise le matin du 6 juin. Son sang-froid, son courage et ses initiatives exceptionnelles, lié à sa détermination sans limite contribua au succès des missions qui lui avaient été attribuées. Tout au long de la guerre, le Col. Vandervoort à acquit la réputation de commandant pouvant mener à bien n'importe quel mission avec un minimum de pertes. Le rôle du Colonel Vandervoort dans la campagne de Normandie fut immortalisée par l'acteur John Wayne dans le film « Le Jour le Plus Long », d'après le best-seller de Cornelius Ryan. Son nom rappelle désormais celui d'une légende des forces armées. Vandervoort avait été décrit par Gen. Matt Ridgway, Officier commandant de la 82e Airborne Division, comme « l'un des commandant les plus braves et les plus durs au combat que je n'ai jamais connu ». Oliver B. Carr, un lieutement qui se battit sous Vandervoort en Normandie déclara « Il avait le respect de chaque homme en uniforme. Il était très brave et très calme dans des situations où cela était extrêmement difficile de l'être. "" ******************** ref ya505.

Softbound ( 27 x 21,7 cm )( 346 gr ). ------ 72 pages , 220 illustrations. ************************ "" Bob Piper est officier parachutiste Américain, il servit successivement, durant la Seconde Guerre Mondiale, en tant que Chef de Peloton dans la Compagnie 'G' du 505ème PIR, Capitaine adjoint du Régiment (S-1) et Officier de Renseignement du Régiment (S-2). Il prit part aux quatre sauts de combat effectués par la 82ème Division Aéroportée et participa aux six campagnes en Europe, n'étant blessé qu'une fois par le feu de l'ennemi. En tant que membre de l'Etat-Major du Régiment, une des tâches qui lui fut assignée, était celle peu commune de veiller sur la seule femme du Régiment. Oui, il y eut en effet des femmes dans les zones de combats avec le corps de parachutistes de l'Armée des Etats-Unis pendant la deuxième guerre mondiale. Très peu, certes, mais il y en eut! Oui, elles portaient des bottes de saut, le brevet para, l'insigne de la 82ème Airborne et le casque d'acier. Piper prit cette tâche tant à coeur, qu'à la fin de la guerre, il ne put se résigner à ne plus avoir à le faire et fit le serment de veiller sur elle tout au long de sa vie. Tout comme Forrest Guth, héros du premier volume de cette série de portraits, Bob Piper passa outre l'interdiction d'emporter un appareil photo au combat et il ne quitta jamais son Leica durant ses six campagnes ! Après tout, n'appartenait-il pas à cette classe qui donne les ordres ! Piper prit de fabuleuses photos des membres de l'Etat-Major et des Généraux de la Division. Jusqu'à aujourd'hui la plupart d'entre-elles n'avaient jamais été dévoilées. "" ******************** ref ya505.

Saint-Côme-du-Mont 2012. 1 Volume/1.-- As New -- Hardback Quarto size ( 32,5 x 23,5 cm ). ------ 560 pages , 850 illustrations. ************************ Présentation éditeur : "" « Orange is the Color of the Day » continues where the first volume, titled « D-Day Minus 17 September 1944 » stops. "" ******************** The book is a valuable addition to the existing literature about Operation Market Garden and the 101st Airborne Division, because no other unit in any given battle in any war received such extensive coverage as the 101st gets in this book. Even those who have been studying the 101st Airborne Division for many years and believe the have read all there is to it, will discover many new facts about the great achievements of the « Screaming Eagles ». So the entire combat history of the 101st Airborne Division in Operation Market Garden is covered, from the day they boarded their C-47s and WACO gliders at the airbases in England on September 17, 1944, to the moment they were relieved after 72 days of continual combat on November 27, 1944. However, aiming to be complete, the book was getting close to 775 pages and out of sheer necessity it was decided to cut the book in two and publish two volumes. Only the two volumes together tell the complete story. Like a kite string, the complete story of the employment of the 101st Airborne Division is told in photographs and elaborate captions. No single major action has been omitted. And where no photographs or stills were available to complete the story, new chapters were written based on prime sources such as after action reports, combat interviews and veteran stories. For this pictorial history, special attention was given to the quality of the photographs and like you have come to expect from D-Day Publishing books: « No Small Photograph Prints. » Furthermore, the great majority of the photos are digital copies of the first, original print. The density and contrast have been digitally improved, so in many cases the quality is even better than the original print. If photographs were not available stills from Signal Corps footage were used with surprising results. The authors were also able to scan original 120mm and 35mm negatives of local Dutch photographers, which resulted in an even better quality and detail.************************* ref ya505.

"Burning Bridges" (volume 1) and "Bridges Are Ours" (volume 2) are the culmination of 35 years of airborne history research and contains 976 pages and over 1,600 photographs, most of which have never been published before. All photos are identified either by date, location, name of individual soldiers, equipment, or historical context. Often all these leads have been identified. This resulted in erudite and extensive captions. Rare identified airborne equipment, documents and artifacts from the December44 and D-Day Experience Museums' collections and local collections are spread throughout the book. Although the authors' intentions were to compile a pictorial history, extensive research in American and British archives also lead to a better understanding of why Operation Market Garden ultimately failed in its mission. "Burning Bridges" begins with the introduction, where the decision-making process that led to Operation Market Garden is explained in great detail. The subsequent chapters discuss the preparations in the marshalling areas in England, the activities of the Pathfinders, and the boarding of the aircraft by all paratroop regiments and battalions. The glider lifts are also well covered by many newly discovered photographs. After the entire division was airborne, "Burning Bridges" continues with the actual drops at the drop- and landing zones as well as the first two days of combat. The drop of the 504th Regiment and the capture of the Grave Bridge and the bridges over the Maas-Waal Canal are covered first. Hundreds of photographs, documents and artifacts tell the successful story of the capture of the bridges. The landings of the 505th and 508th Regiments on Drop Zones N and T in Groesbeek, east of Nijmegen are also covered. The Germans were overwhelmed and resistance was still negligible. It was the quiet before the storm. .************************* ref ya505.

Although the authors intentions were to compile a pictorial history, extensive research in American and British archives also lead to a better understanding of why Operation Market Garden ultimately failed in its mission. Bridges are Ours begins when « Burning Bridges » stops, with the fight for the Nijmegen bridges. Roughly, five different attacks took place and each is dealt with in great detail. The main attacks on September 19 and 20, when the 2nd Battalion of the 505th Regiment, supported by British tanks, attacked both the railway and the road bridges from the south are discussed in detail. When the German defenders would not budge, the 504th Regiment was ordered to cross the Waal River in small boats, an action called by many one of the most heroic actions of WW2. De Trez and Hendrikx untangle the decision-making process of the Waal crossing and provide a detailed description, illustrated with many artifacts. After the 82nd Division accomplished all its missions, the last regiment is inserted in the fight. The 325th Glider Regiment was delayed for many days due to bad weather and dangerous planning. However, in the defensive battles that followed, the 325th Regiment played an important role. Bridges Are Ours continues with the defensive battles of the 504th, 505th and 508th Regiments and its supporting artillery battalions. The activities of the glider pilots, members of the Air Force who were called upon to perform as infantry, are also covered. Many newly discovered photos tell a story of danger and misery. Units of the Division Headquarters, such as the Military Police, the Signalmen and the Medical Battalion are also well documented in Bridges Are Ours . The final chapter provides a critical assessment of the leading commanders of Operation Market Garden and their roles in the decision-making process and the execution of the operation. Sources in British and American archives shed new light on the historiography of Operation Market Garden.****************** ref ya505.
