about this piece
On the evening of 5 June 1944, at a dozen airfields across southern England, more than 13,000 American paratroopers prepared themselves for a mission that would change the course of history.
Signatures May Vary by Edition
As a tribute to the gallantry shown on that fateful day, two veterans who took part in operations on D-Day have joined artist Anthony Saunders in signing every print in this memorable edition:
Staff Sergeant EDWARD H. TUNISON USAAF
74th TCS, 434th TCC, 9th Air Force
Served as a Radio Operator with the same crew and on the same C-47 throughout his time in Europe. His crew dropped paratroopers from the 101st Airborne Division into Cherbourg in the early hours of D-Day before making two more trips on the same day. They towed Horsa gliders carrying British troops during Operation Market Garden, flew re-supply operations during the Battle of the Bulge and towed gliders again during the Rhine crossings.
Captain DEAN McCANDLESS
505th PIR, 82nd Airborne Division
Commissioned as an Officer with the 82nd Airborne Division he served with 1st Battalion and made the first of his four combat jumps on 9 July 1943 at Sicily, and two months later jumped at Salerno. His third drop was on D-Day successfully capturing the bridge over the Merderet River and his final jump was during Operation Market Garden before being wounded during the Battle of the Bulge. He was awarded the Silver Star and Purple Heart.
