"D-Day" - 80 years ago on this very day in 1944, the Allied Forced made commenced the largest amphibious assault in history on the beaches of Normandy, France. This assault would begin the Allies push into occupied France and the start of the end of the Axis reign in Europe. Now in 2024, NS 391 found itself sporting none other than CP 6644 "Honoring WWII Veterans" which sports the unique invasion stripes that were applied to every Allied aircraft used in the assault. Today, we honor those men who died on those beaches, and whose spirits never returned from Operation Overlord.
