Description
The largest seaborne invasion in military history was made possible by the bravery of British and Commonwealth pilots and aircrew. D-Day RAF: The RAF's Part in the Great Invasion tells the story of their courageous missions, which were vital to Operation Overlord's success. Rare period photographs and beautiful aviation art bring to life the stories of quiet bravery and individual heroism that took place high above the Normandy beaches and landing grounds. This book explores the types of aircraft flown by the RAF during this pivotal moment in history, including Supermarine Spitfire fighters, Hawker Typhoon fighter-bombers, A-20 Boston bombers, and Avro Lancaster bombers. Written by retired Squadron Leader Clive Rowley, a former Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Officer Commanding, D-Day RAF: The RAF's Part in the Great Invasion offers a detailed look at the air force's role in the Normandy landings.
