D-Day In The Air Reissue 2019
This reissued publication (2019) exemplifies the huge range of disparate aircraft types and roles in play throughout the D-Day period.
From US Navy Spitfires spotting for naval guns, gliders delivering soldiers and Hawker Typhoons pinpointing German radar, to the USAAF’s Ninth Air Force aircraft and airfields – and the legendary ‘Mighty Eighth’ – there’s vital content for old hands and those coming to the subject for the first time.
The publication also offers seldom-covered subjects such as the Canadian 415 Squadron and its Fairey Albacores, which guarded against Kriegsmarine E-boats in the Channel.
And while much of the coverage concerns Allied air assets, it also casts light on the fortunes of two Luftwaffe units during June 6, 1944, and the following period.
