Invasion Force
Almost every major invasion that took place in Europe in World War II began with
para drops, and in almost every case the C-47 was the aircraft that delivered
these elite fighting troops. Few C-47 pilots had more combat experience than Sid
Harwell, seen flying his Dakota in this typical action scene, dropping airborne
troops into occupied Europe soon after D-Day. No matter what resistance he
encountered, the good C-47 pilot put his aircraft right over the Dropping Zone,
every time. |
