The C-47 "Skytrain"
played one of the most important roles during the first hours of D-Day, back in
1944. To these venerables aircrafts was given the mission to transport and drop
the first allied troops into occupied France.
The soldiers was lau nched into the deep dark night behind enemy lines, over a heavy
defended
territory and under a smashing "rain" of anti-aircraft fire. These
paratroopers missions were very important to guarantee and support the main
invasion that would take place in Normandy's beaches at June 6th morning.
