Re: Operation 'Coup de Main' / Operation Tonga - 5/6 June 1944

Hello Richard!
I am afraid your querrie is a bit too long, this is most of people did not reply yet.
I am sure you certainly do have this book, but I read it last year and found a good account with some information that you are looking for.
Have you tried to contact those Squadron´s Associations? Try out, you certainly will be sucessful.
Hope to have helped, even though being a small help...
Sincere and friendly yours

ONE NIGHT IN JUNE

One Night in June is an account of the Glider Pilot Regiment’s role in Operation Tonga, the first stage of the Airborne assault in the Normandy landings in June 1944.The story includes stories of crew who evaded capture by the Germans and pays tribute to the help they received from local Resistance fighters.The contribution of the nine gliders which took part in the ‘Coup de Main’ landings has been well-documented but of the other eighty-nine gliders which took part little has been written.This book tells the full story.
