D-Day Commandos & a French horse called "George"

While reading BBC.News today I found this great story about the British Commandos on their way to assault the now-named Pegasus Bridge. They met a farmer with a horse named George, who was pulling a cart . . .

Remembering D-Day - 6 June 1944

A turning point in the war against the Nazis: 6 June 1944. Many of the men who died were around 18 years old. May we never forget the sacrifice of so many on that day.

Watch a Remote Control model of the Horten XVIII - the German jet bomber from Operation Devil's Fire

In Sgt. Dunn Novel #1, Operation Devil's Fire, part of the story is about the Germans building a jet bomber that can reach the United States.

Someone made a flying model using the Horten brothers' plans!

Take a look and enjoy.
