A SPECIALLY COMMISSIONED FACSIMILE EDITION FEATURING THE ORIGINAL BAND OF BROTHERS - THE MEN OF EASY COMPANY, 101ST AIRBORNE
The men of Easy Company, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division, prepare to leave Upottery Airfield on board the C-47s that will carry them into France on the night of D-Day, 5/6 June 1944. Crossing the enemy occupied French coast in complete darkness, under heavy AA fire, the 101st and other Airborne Divisions parachuted into Normandy, close to the village of St. Mère Eglise. Their historic drop launched the first action of the greatest military invasion in history, spearheading the massed landings of Allied forces that heralded the beginning of the end of the Third Reich.
Specially commissioned by the Military Gallery, working in close liaison with James Dietz, one of America's foremost artists, this highly restricted print edition is issued with a genuine US military issue combat helmet, from which we have created a museum quality collectors piece, in Easy Company markings. Each helmet is beautifully displayed in specially created presentation box.
