That landing photograph is really something else: it is simply fabulous, specially considering the equipment available at the time! Awesome shot that gives us a pretty good idea of the Allied power - particularly that of the American industry! hmy:

Also helps people see what kind of logistics were involved in D-Day...

Cheers and thanks for sharing! B)

Okay, I'm in with the USS Harding in 1/700 scale. She slugged it out the coastal defenses up close and personal.

Here's a question, what was the temperature during the invasion? Everything I see the guys are bundled up pretty well but it's early June, how cool would it have been there?
