September 17, 1944 . . . In sun-swept skies, the C-47s of 9th Troop Carrier Command deliver their fighting cargo, the paratroopers of the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions above Holland's soft drop zones. Deemed "Operation Market Garden," the finest American, British, and Polish Airborne forces led the charge to enter Germany through Holland and to liberate the Dutch people after four years of Nazi occupation. However, fierce enemy resistance and blunders by high command would see the brave Airborne troops stopped short of the Rhine but, not before they liberated much of Holland and earned the name: The Angels from Above.
2009 marks the 65th Anniversary of several hard-fought campaigns of WWII.
The series begins with "Angels from Above," a product of master artist Matt Hall. Before signing-on with Valor Studios, Matt worked as an Art Director for DreamWorks, where he learned from, and painted for, Steven Spielberg!
"Angels from Above" is Matt's tribute to the Airborne forces who parachuted into occupied Holland for Operation Market Garden.
"Angels from Above" is . . .
