World War II

This is a stamp, from a set of 2, remembering the Operation Market Garden. I only have this obliterated one.

Operation Market Garden was an unsuccessful World War II military operation fought in the Netherlands from 17 to 25 September 1944, planned and predominantly led by the British Army. Its objective was a series of nine bridges that could have provided an Allied invasion route into Germany. Airborne and land forces succeeded in the liberation of the Dutch cities of Eindhoven and Nijmegen, but at the Battle of Arnhem were defeated in their attempt to secure the last bridge, over the Rhine (wikipedia).

The knapsack parachute was created in Russia in 1912 by a Russian engineer Kotelnikov. The famous pilot Gromov (first from left) for the first time in Russia escaped from an emergency plane in 1927. In 1937, he and his comrades made a non-stop flight from Moscow to San Jasinto (California)
