Testimonials

I have used similar services to this before and Battlefield Historian is without doubt the most competitively priced and with highest quality of all the military history resource sites.

Bob Mansell

A superb site, with a terrific range of items to download, and at amazing prices. The service is first class. That what is on offer at the moment is only the tip of the iceberg is an intriguing prospect ...

A posed photograph taken in 1943 showing an airborne infantry platoon about to take off in a Horsa glider (looking towards the rear of the aircraft). Note the cramped conditions, the flimsy infrastructure, chest harness and tiny porthole.
