On 18 December 1935 when the first flight of the Douglas DC-3 took place, few could have imagined that it would become one of the worlds most celebrated aircraft of all time, not just as a commercial airliner but also as the C-47 military transport. When production ceased in the summer of 1945, a total of 10926 had been built. This wonderfully versatile aircraft played a significant part in airborne operations around the world; but perhaps its most notable employment occurred during the June 1944 Normandy campaign. This important episode within the wider history of "D-Day" is enlivened here in classic fashion by Martin Bowman, in a narrative that features both extensive historical notes as well as deeply personal accounts of endurance and individual gallantry. This amplified account of events as they unfolded in the skies above France on D-Day (5/6 and 6/7 June, 1944) reveals the invaluable contribution these workhorses of World War II made to the overall success in Normandy. It follows the author's comprehensive five part work published by "Pen & Sword" (Air War D-Day) that included a multitude of personal military accounts from both Allied and German personnel who took part in Operation "Overlord" and the Normandy campaign.
This detailed account of the events that took place over France on D-Day (5/6 and 6/7 June 1944) shows the invaluable contribution that these flying "workhorses" of the Second World War made to the overall success of the Allies in Normandy.
