D-Day Plus One, yet another aerial
armada heads inland over the heavy fighting on the beaches below.
Bearing their high profile invasion stripes, P-51 Mustangs of
the 354th Fighter Group are seen escorting B-26 Marauders of
the 397th Bomb Group as they cross the battle lines, the Marauders'
mission to hit enemy targets ahead of advancing Allied ground
forces. Below, endless flotillas of troop ships and landing craft
swarm onto the beaches as day two of the invasion draws towards
it close.
