The Snapshots in Time Collection
Gallery: Part 2
From final equipment checks beside a C-47 to wrecked Waco gliders at Normandy and Bastogne, these images trace the 101st Airborne Division through its hardest campaigns and their aftermath. Anti-tank crews, field meals, graves detail, and a postwar reunion portrait record both the cost of airborne operations and the bonds that outlasted them.
