EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the tranquil beauty of Airstrip B3 Memorial area, located at Ste Croix sur Mer in Normandy, France. The image transports us back in time to the pivotal moment in history when this very strip became the first operational British airfield on June 10, 1944. The Allied invasion of Normandy, also known as D-Day, marked a turning point in World War II. At exactly 1200 hours on that fateful day, the skies above this very airfield roared with the sound of approaching aircraft as the first squadrons, 130 and 133, touched down on its grassy surface. The brave pilots and crews of the Royal Canadian Air Force's 146 Typhoon Wing, along with Nos 441, 442, and 443 Squadrons, and the French forces of 340 and 341 Squadrons, began their crucial mission to support the ground troops and secure the beachhead. Today, the Airstrip B3 Memorial area stands as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by these brave men and women during the D-Day landings. The memorials scattered throughout the area pay tribute to their unwavering courage and dedication. This photograph, taken in 2009, serves as a testament to the historical significance of this site and the indomitable spirit of those who fought for freedom during one of the most defining moments in human history.
