History... In June 2014 it is exactly 70 years ago
that the largest invasion in history took place. On D-Day; the 6th of
June 1944, in almost 7.000 ships the Allied armies transported over
160.000 young men to the beaches of Normandy in France, to liberate
Europe of the Nazis. This invasion was preceded by the landing of
13.000 paratroopers behind the enemy lines. They jumped from the
famous Douglas C-47 Dakota; the workhorse of the Allied troops. On the
ground they raised havoc and suffered great losses, but they freed the
path for the landings from the sea.
Our plan... Because of the 70th anniversary of the
D-day Invasion in June 2014 we plan to organise an enormous public
“DC-3/C-47 Dakota Fest” and to bring as much of these aircraft to
Normandy again! In Honour of all veterans and of what they achieved...
For the first time since 1944 the skies over Normandy will be filled
with Dakotas to drop paratroopers. Throughout Europe about 15 of these
aircraft are still flying and for this very special occasion we want
to bring them all together for the very first and possibly the very
last time since the war, so everyone can admire these beautiful
aircraft on the ground and in the air, where they belong!
Your part... Now it's up to
you. Will you help us in honouring the efforts and
sacrifice of all those young men back then? So let's revive 1944
history and support our plan with your contribution. Thank you!
