Military T-Shirt Sales! Cotton T-Shirts, Sizes Small - 3XL
At D-Day Wear, we have always wanted to
have red shirts in the clothing collection for red shirt Fridays. Did you know
That R.E.D. means Remember Everyone Deployed?
This D-Day
commemorative red T-shirt shows an R.A.F Roundel set into
the image of the propeller of a DC-47 plane / Dakota airplane.
Adding the black and white invasion stripes that were painted on
allied aircraft involved in the D-Day invasion commemorates
the pilots and air crew by creating D-Day clothing with an
Air Force theme.
In all, an estimated 13000 Allied aircraft participated in the D-Day operations. Allied air forces flew over 14000 sorties in support of the landings on D-Day. Having secured air supremacy prior to the invasion most of these flights were unchallenged by the Luftwaffe.
The Aerial operation on D-Day came in different phases:
The first phase of the aerial armada had the Medium / Heavy Bombers and Attack planes taking off from England to attack first. This included Lancaster bombers. American B 17 Flying Fortresses, the Martin B-26 Marauder and Hawker Typhoons. These planes were to to "soften up" the extensive enemy defenses. Allied commanders hoped the bombings would neutralize the enemy's defenses, but that proved not to be the case. German capabilities remained formidable.
Next, hundreds of C-47's a.k.a. Skytrains / Dakotas / DC 3's took off en masse from bases across the channel in England, congregating in multiple V-formations, each plane carrying more than a dozen paratroopers, the airborne fighters who would jump from the transports into occupied France to cut off German defenders from behind.
And during the Invasion, the fighters of D-Day were a different story. Because the Allies had achieved air supremacy, there were no Luftwaffe fighters to engage. This included: the P-38 Lightning, Supermarine Spitfires, the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt and the Hawker Typhoon.
Though lengthy this video shares eyewitness accounts from the air and from the ground by participants in the WW2 battle for air supremacy.
