    Hello All,
    Its been a good while since I have posted here, I am looking to you all for some advice, I am looking for a good book on the 6th airborne in Normandy, I have read many books that cover the subject but not solely the 6th.
    So looking forward to your suggestions.

    Not so easy to find, but the Grand-daddy of them all is 'With The 6th Airborne Division In Normandy' by Lt.-Gen. R N Gale ( Sampson Low & Marston 1948 )......

    D-Day , Pegasus Bridge and Red Devils in Normandy - Lloyd Clark

    The Red Beret : The Story of Parachute Regiment at War 1940-45 - Hillary Aidan St. George Saunders

    These two are the best sources about British airborne in Normandy I have read so far
