Douglas C-47 ‘Skytrain’ with the D-Day Invasion Stripes (Operation Overlord, also known as Battle of Normandy) - FRANCE © Gérald WILLIG
This photograph is a tribute to the Douglas C-47 'Skytrain' and C-53 'Skytrooper' crews and paratroopers of The 82nd Airborne Division and the 101st Airborne Division, who participated with courage and heroism in the liberation of my region of Normandy as part of D-Day on June 6, 1944.
Approximately 13,100 American paratroopers from the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions conducted parachute drops, followed by 3,937 glider infantrymen, on June 6. As the opening maneuver of the Normandy landings, the two American airborne divisions were dropped in Normandy via two parachute and six glider missions.
Invasion stripes were alternating black and white bands painted on the fuselages and wings of Allied aircraft during World War II to reduce the chance that they would be attacked by friendly forces during and after the Normandy Landings.
