British royal air force Lt. Sean Smith, 2nd Battalion parachute regiment, waits to load onto a U.S. C130-J Super Hercules before an Operation Market Garden memorial flight at Eindhoven Air Base, Netherlands, Sept. 16, 2023. Operation Market Garden was conducted by Allied powers during World War II from Sept. 17-27, 1944 in order to open a liberation route into northern Germany and it was split into two phases. Phase one, known as Market, used U.S. and British airborne forces to seize nine bridges. Phase two, known as Garden, used British land forces to further secure the bridges.
