If you look closely...each glider fragment still contains the original Normandy soil/dirt from when the D-Day glider landed.

The Normandy landings were the landing operations and associated airborne operations on Tuesday, June 6th, 1944 of the Allied invasion of Normandy in Operation Overlord during World War II. Codenamed Operation Neptune and often referred to as D-Day, it was the largest seaborne invasion in history. The operation began the liberation of France and laid the foundations of the Allied victory on the Western Front.

This rare piece of D-Day history is an original U.S. Airborne glider fabric that was recovered from the D-Day Normandy drop zones designated for U.S. glider troops during Operation Overlord Allied D-Day landings on June 6th, 1944.

The U.S. airborne landings in Normandy were the first U.S. operations during Operation Overlord, the invasion of Normandy by the Western Allies on June 6, 1944, during World War II. Around 13,100 American paratroopers of the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions made night parachute drops early on D-Day, June 6, followed by 3,937 glider troops flown in by day.

These D-Day gliders were made mostly from light wood and canvas fabric. This fabric was uncovered during a professional recovery of the D-Day area near Sainte-Mere-Eglise in Normandy during the 50th Invasion Anniversary in 1994.

This would make an amazing addition to any WWII or D-Day collection.
