The 1944 Allied invasion of France was a combined effort, with land- and
sea-based forces supported by a huge aerial task force, which included
legendary aircraft such as the Spitfire, Mosquito, Dakota and Mustang.
The force comprised the RAF, its commonwealth allies and the USAAF,
which resulted in an eclectic mix of gliders, heavy bombers, fighters,
ground-attack aircraft and transport aeroplanes. Illustrated with over
170 color images of modern-day surviving and restored aircraft, this
book features many of the aircraft types that were involved in the
operations surrounding the Normandy invasion, including the aircraft the
flew on D-Day itself.
