Operation Overlord

I sure wonder where you found this old training manual from the 1940's. Nobody skis effortlessly through time quite as well as you, tony.

I like this one a lot. my first feeling was evac of british forces back to albion during WW, or normandy.

anyway - black and white, provoking composition, communication, any important details there.

very good photography

Superbly presented, love the P-51… Mike 

The period look of the picture is superb. Well done.

The Americans wait to board for their attack

Cheers

You have invented the time machine Tony!!!

Great rendition, evocative of the era. As someone who loathes war, I take a very different view of the invasion of Normandy. The very famous American writer James Jones wrote a book, World War II, that took a soldier's approach to that meat grinder of a war, and one comes across with the impression that Churchill, Eisenhower, and all the planners and conductors of that war were all psychopaths who cared more about the machines and planes in their "chess game", than the lives of those hapless souls scattered there on the beach. The great Frank Capra also captured a lot of gruesome images of soldiers who drowned in the thousands trying to storm that fortified beach. This image of a lone guy in a plane who could drop a bomb by pushing a button and end the lives of all those young men staring helplessly at him is more chilling to me than inspirational.
