The A.S.51 Horsa was a British transport glider used extensively during the Second World War, notably during the Normandy landings on 6 June 1944. Capable of transporting troops and equipment, the Horsa was a crucial element in airborne operations, allowing forces to be dropped behind enemy lines. The Mk.I was one of the most widely produced variants, used by British and Allied forces for several critical missions.
