C-47s Tow Gliders Over France

C-47 transports of the Ninth USAF Troop Carrier Command tow gliders over the north coast of France to reinforce with airborne infantry the Allied paratroopers landed earlier in the morning of June 6, 1944. The English Channel is in the background. These planes, part of the greatest troop-carrying armada ever assembled, roared out of English skies throughout 'D-Day' to start the battle for the liberation of Europe.
