"Staff Sergeant Geoff Barkway DFM was a member of the Glider Pilot Regiment who achieved fame as the pilot of the third Horsa glider to land at Pegasus Bridge in the early hours of 6 June 1944. This remarkable achievement was described as \"the greatest feat of flying of the second world war\" by Air Chief Marshal Sir Trafford Leigh-Mallory. Shortly after the landing he was shot in the arm and later had it amputated when gangrene set in."@en . . "United Kingdom" . . "1921Z"^^ . . . "Geoff Barkway"@en . "2006Z"^^ . . "1939Z"^^ .
