Book Description

The continuing narrative of air elements in D-Day and its aftermath. This volume concentrates on D-Day itself and is complete with all detail and maps. The volume looks at purely air matters - bombing and enemy air force suppression, and at air-land operations - ground support, airborne landings, and all other matters involving air power. It is a ‘must-have’ for any study of D-Day in that it expands and clarifies much of the land warfare picture (already published by MLRS relating to the landings by ground forces [and see I Corps and XXX Corps narratives, and the US Beaches narrative already published]). Importantly it includes operations by the USAAF.
