Veterans' Comments
Dear Arie-Jan,
I was deeply impressed by your attention to the smallest of details. It is an accurate account of all the events and historically correct. You captured the whole atmosphere of the airborne landing, even individual reactions.
Well done and thank you, and all the best! Ken Nolan.
Mr. Ken Nolan, ex Flight Sergeant RAAF, wireless operator 295 Squadron, RAF Harwell.
I offer my congratulations for an astounding publication, so painstakingly researched and beautifully produced. It really is a quite brilliant piece of work, and surely, along with "Tugs and Gliders to Arnhem" must become one of the standard reference books for Operation 'Market Garden'.
I think every Market Garden Veteran should have a copy by his bedside. Well done Arie-Jan!

Dear Arie,
Congratulations! What a great achievement. You must feel very proud. I do thank you so much for writing this book.
As descendant of someone involved in this campaign I am very pleased and feel quite moved that you have put so much effort into this. I can only imagine how moving it must be to those who participated to have someone go to this much effort so many years later.

I
have read the whole book with much interest and have found the intense detail
and plentiful statistics thrilling and most absorbing. At last, the part played
by the RAF and the Army despatchers in the last phase of the Arnhem battle,
which had been sadly neglected in previous books, has been fleshed out and fully
documented.
The task you undertook was monumental but you should be very proud of the book which must surely be regarded as the 'bible' of British parachute resupply activities at Arnhem.
