 In Operation Market Garden, the 1st British Airlanding Brigade, attached to 1st British Airborne Division, were landed on the first day of the operation.The landings took place in daylight and were unopposed, but the only landing and drop zones thought suitable for such a large force were a considerable distance from the vital bridge which was the objective.No attempt was made to mount a coup de main attack by glider (although this was largely due to the haste with which the operation was mounted).
