On D-Day, the invasion was conducted in 2 main phases, an airborne assault and amphibious landings. Over 14,000 sorties were flown by Allied Air Forces in support of the landings. Having secured air supremacy prior to the invasion, many of these flights were unchallenged by the Luftwaffe. Please remember:- THURSDAY, 6 JUNE 2024 is the anniversary:- 'D-DAY 80' COMMENTS (1)
