Pegasus Bridge

Description

HAM AND JAMĄ­ HAM AND JAMĄ­ these words were sent repeatedly in the early morning before D-Day. They signified that the first engagement of D-Day was a victory for Allies with the capture of two critical bridges that protected the entire right flank of the D-Day Invasion. With typical dash and daring, a small detachment of British airborne troops landed in wooden gliders just yards away from German defenses, and quickly overwhelmed the surprised defenders before the bridges could be blown up. As its centerpiece to this crucial battle, Figarti Miniatures presents its historically accurate version of Pegasus Bridge, renamed to honor the heroism of the British soldiers who wore the Pegasus symbol of the British 6th Airborne Division. At L56" x W15" x H20", this bridge will be the perfect display for FigartiĄŻs British airborne troops and German defenders.
