Drop Zone Normandy- Air Action on D-Day
Product Description
Format: DVD
Run Time: 85 minutes
This awesome video program lets you witness the 9th Troop Carrier Command of the 9th Air Force, drop paratroopers of the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions on D-Day in a very complex and dangerous drop into Normandy. The first wave of C-47's flying at 500 feet and 100 miles per hour, ran into low clouds and fog, but were able to make reasonable drops at their designated Landing Zones. The second wave ran into the same low clouds and fog, but also, alerted German antiaircraft gunners whose unrelenting fire inflicted enormous casualties.
A compelling price was paid by the crews of the C-47's, glider pilots and the airborne forces in this D-Day operation. Now experience this dynamic and gut wrenching story of their heroism and sacrifices that will live forever.
