History of the NORMANDY 1944 Battle Streamer
On June 6, 1944, the Allies launched OPERATION OVERLORD, a pivotal invasion of Normandy, France. The AAF played a crucial role with airborne assaults, strategic bombings, and air support. Before amphibious landings, the Ninth Air Force transported paratroopers, securing objectives and beach exits. D-Day saw bombers targeting key positions, impeding German reinforcements. Tactical air control on Utah and Omaha Beaches facilitated supplies. The Allies' tactical surprise and air superiority secured a swift beachhead, leading to strategic victories like the capture of Cherbourg. Despite challenges, the invasion marked a turning point in World War II.
