Pegasus Bridge

Pegasus bridge, as most of you probably know, was one of the bridges which had to be taken intact so that the allies, after landing, could cross the river and move east. As it happened the first Horsa glider landed just 47 feet away from the bridge. If you hear the whole story it was quite a fantastic feat of navigation. The museum is well worth the visit.
