EASY COMPANY
by James Dietz
The men of Easy Company, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division, prepare to leave Upottery Airfield on board the C-47s that will carry them into France on the night of D-Day, 5/6 June 1944.
This highly detailed pencil drawing by one of America's foremost artists, James Dietz, features the men of the famous WWII unit - 'Easy Company'.
Published 20 years ago and strictly limited to 101 copies worldwide, each set included a genuine U.S. Military issue combat helmet which has been used to create a museum quality collectors piece in Easy Company markings, beautifully displayed in a specially created presentation box. Rarely do we come across copies of the print or helmet in such good condition and it has been a number of years since we've been able to offer a matching-pair such as this.
