Operation VARSITY Talk

Operation VARSITY, is the largest single airborne operation in history, involving over 16,000 paratroopers and thousands of aircraft. Mike Peters will provide an in-depth analysis of the mission, examining the critical lessons learned following the defeat of the 1st (British) Airborne Division at the Battle of Arnhem just six months earlier. He will also explore the crucial role of RAF crews, particularly those from the 6th (British) Airborne Division, who flew aboard 243 C-47 aircraft and gliders. With an extensive 34-year career in the Army Air Corps, Mike Peters brings a wealth of knowledge and experience, making this an event not to be missed.
