Staff Sergeant James Harley Wallwork DFM (21 October 1919 – 24 January 2013) was a British soldier and a member of the Glider Pilot Regiment who achieved notability as the pilot of the first Horsa glider to land at Pegasus Bridge in the early hours of D-Day, 6 June 1944, during the Second World War.

This achievement was described as "the greatest feat of flying of the second world war" by Air Chief Marshal Sir Trafford Leigh-Mallory.

[1] Although most noted for his part in the Battle of Normandy, Wallwork flew gliders in every major British airborne operation of the Second World War.

After training at Tarrant Rushton airfield, Wallwork set off on the evening of 5 June 1944 for the beginning of the invasion of Normandy.

Shortly after midnight on 6th June he landed his Horsa glider in occupied France, ending up less than 50 ft (15 m) from the water tower of the Benouville Bridge.
