SUMMARY:Special Event: The Normandy Invasion: Airpower Leads the Way
DESCRIPTION:The Normandy Invasion:  Airpower Leads the Way\nP-47 Flight Demonstration\nSaturday\, June 25\nDoors Open at 8:00am—Presentation Begins at 9:30am \nOperation Overlord\, the June 6th\, 1944 Allied invasion of France\, was the ultimate event on the western front during WWII.   Targeting the Normandy coast\, this invasion was one of the most complex activities ever undertaken by man.  It entailed thousands of aircraft\, ships and landing vessels in a coordinated assault against Germany’s Atlantic Wall.  The success of Overlord depended to a great degree on Allied air power in all its forms. Without air power\, the invasion of France and liberation of Europe would have been impossible.  \nMuseum historian and U.S. Air Force veteran Gene Pfeffer will describe the variety\, pace and intensity of Allied air operations supporting the invasion.  He will cover the U.S. Army Air Forces planning effort for the invasion\, the Allied strategic bombing campaign\, and the tactical air support provided by the P-47 Thunderbolt and other aircraft that enabled the Allied breakout from the invasion beaches into the heart of continental Europe. \nThe presentation will be followed by a flight demonstration of the P-47  Thunderbolt\, weather permitting.    \nDoors to the museum open at 8:00 am.  The presentation will begin at 9:30 am.
