Glider landing zone at Wolfheze

Reconnaissance photograph of gliders which have landed in a field, showing skid marks. The majority of the gliders are Horsa's, with three of the larger Hamilcar gliders visible in the field to the right. This is drop zone Z for Operation Market Garden. Some Horsa's have overshot and landed in the wood near the Utrecht-Arnhem railway line which is in the top left. The asylum is amongst the woodland to the top of the photograph.
