With The 6h Airborne Division In Normandy (1948) By R. N. Gale
Scarce memoir of the airborne war told by the commander of this British unit.
General Sir Richard Nelson "Windy" Gale, GCB, KBE, DSO, MC (25 June 1896 – 29 July 1982) was a senior officer in the British Army who served in both world wars. In the First World War he was awarded the Military Cross in 1918 whilst serving as a junior officer in the Machine Gun Corps. During the Second World War he served with 1st Parachute Brigade and then the 6th Airborne Division during the D-Day landings and Operation Tonga in 1944. After the end of the conflict, Gale remained in the army and eventually, in 1958, succeeded Field Marshal The Viscount Montgomery as Deputy Supreme Allied Commander Europe.
