Pilots,
This weekend’s special is a grand one because of the historic event that it commemorates. 70 years ago, on 6 June 1944, thousands of Allied troops landed on the beaches of Normandy in a huge scale invasion known as Operation Overlord. This event came to be considered as the beginning of the end of World War II. This weekend, we pay homage to the brave souls who fought valiantly, often sacrificing their lives, to make the invasion a success and put an end to the Nazi regime in Europe.

D-Day was the day that marked the beginning of the landing operation of the large military offensive by the name of Operation Neptune that the Allied Forces carried out on June 6th 1944. In what would become the biggest amphibious invasion in world history, over 160,000 troops, including American, British and Canadian forces, landed on the beaches of Normandy (France) to deploy an army that would go on to liberate Europe from the reign of Nazi Germany.
D-Day itself was preceded by a multitude of smaller operations that served as preparation and distraction at the same time, which contributed in great part to the success of the landings. Infiltration assignments, sabotage missions and heavy bombardments from the sea and air all helped in clearing the pathway for the arrival of the Allied Forces.
Aircraft were also used heavily to drop paratroopers behind enemy lines. Multiple airborne divisions would parachute out at critical locations to seize key objectives such as bridges, road crossings, and important terrain features on both sides of the landing area. So whilst D-Day is largely remembered for the naval and amphibious operations of the Allied Forces in the summer of 1944, it is also important not to forget the contribution that American and British aircraft made towards achieving this major milestone, that would ultimately change the course of all of WWII.
Let’s remember D-Day together, pilots!
