On the night of June 5-6, 1944, the skies above the English Channel were filled with the drone of engines as a massive aerial armada set out on a mission that would change the course of history.

The scale of the aerial armada that followed was vast. In the first wave alone—code-name Albany—432 C-47s carried more than 4,000 paratroopers to France. They came in low to evade radar and kept radio silence. Sixty percent had no navigators. They flew through fog, low clouds, and flak. Drop zones were missed, chutes opened too low, and Germans were waiting. But wave after wave came—more than 13,000 paratroopers crossed the channel that night; the next day, almost 4,000 troops flew into France in gliders towed by C-47s.

For this flight we will have a special scenery download with thanks to Jeppeson2001. More details to follow...
