The orchard Horsa is interesting. Zooming the best ground level shot appears to show rough edges near the middle fuselage invasion stripe -...

Lots of interesting details in 1002. With so many objects to discuss, I thought I'd better organize myself by numbering each location. I have long...

Good job, Charles. There may be a few helpful hints in that info - and, of course, you never know how future finds will connect with those...

Nice video, Pat; much crisper than I remember on the familiar glider wreck sequences. Those two 5-6" diameter holes on the new clip look like...

Great story. Thanks for posting. For those with an interest in modern day identification of GI KIA, pick up a copy of Bill Warnock's The Dead...

If the term 'a gentleman and a scholar' was limited to a single use, it would have been applied to my friend Kevin. Seems like a long time ago...

The new, clearer POW film gives me some shadows to work with. A quick guess is about 0700 GMT. 4ID G-1 Journal shows POW cage at Ravenoville...

At least those GI glider pilots got a chance to take the Horsas for a spin a couple of times before the Big Show. Not the ideal training regimen,...

Apparently you are unaware of the presence of suspicious collaborator cows in that area - herds of them (sign: 'moo'; countersign: well, 'moo')...

Is that a real or a dummy German emplacement on the right of 1133? Is that why the P.I. boys took a look at this frame?

Glad you found it, Charles. I was having a brain outage when I wrote that. 'Brown' was part of the collection description, but as you discerned,...

The 82AB AAR includes a few more tidbits. LTC William H. Bertsch commanded the 319th GFAB. The Div Arty report (which Bertsch undoubtedly...

Great job, Charles. Hard to top that kind of detail (even with the new mysteries it presents). The downside to the Horsa manifest is that most...

Based on the shadows in the tow truck image, the road is bearing somewhere between about 280-320 deg. There are no perfect shadows to judge it...

And Pat will come up with a name for each tree in your yard.

Pat, I haven't had a chance to do my Holdy homework assignment for you yet, but I did run across Mark Bando's comment about the location of a...

Pat, I'll hunt around in the Holdy area tomorrow evening. I want to revise my previous calcs a little (more like educated guesses with numbers)....

Best guess with shadow analysis: Either about 0800 GMT with sun at Az. 95 deg - or - about 1615 GMT with sun at Az. 265 deg. That would mean the...

Great work Kevin and Pat. Using my patented shadow analysis voodoo on 4052, I can only say the wall/hedge is not a kneewall - it is head high or...

Thanks, Pat, it really does. There are numerous personal accounts of individuals modifying carbines in the ETO after D-Day, but this is the...
