Would’ve been nice to see some reference on the boxart to the fact that both the vessels and their crews landing the Rangers at Pointe Du Hoc on 6 June 1944 were actually British…

Based on what data or information? That’s a cheap shot. I looked at the Missing Linx post and it’s just someone who built his own. Some verifiable data would be appreciated.
