This is a superb original British so called - press released - press photograph (measuring 25.2cm by 20.3cm) taken by AFPU (Army Film Photo Unit) Sergeant Mike Lewis taken on the north-west corner of DZ (Dropping Zone) X near Wolfheze on the first day of the Arnhem landings during Operation Market Garden. The Sinderhoeve farm lies in the distance right. On the foreground you will see one of the four US made Hadrian Gliders who were attached to the 1st Airborne Division. They were used to fly in special signals teams to direct air-to-ground support by USAAF fighters and fighterbombers. This photograph, printed on a semi gloss paper and still retains some of its original (machine-typed) press information page glued to back. Except from some small cracks and a few pin holes on its edges this photo is in a good condition.
