D-Day Operations Manual: 'neptune', 'overlord' and the Battle of Normandy - 75th Anniversary Edition: Insights Into How Science, Technology and Engineering Made the Normandy Invasion Possible
75th anniversary edition
Jonathan Falconer
The landing of Allied forces on the shores of Normandy on 6 June 1944 was the greatest amphibious invasion in history. Technology and innovation played crucial parts in the D-Day drama – from tank-carrying gliders, swimming tanks and the Mulberry harbors, to radio and radar aids that ensured landing craft arrived on the right beaches and combat aircraft overhead were controlled. This manual describes the development, construction and use of a wide range of innovative machines, structures and systems, explaining their uses on D-Day and after, and revealing how they contributed to the success of ‘Overlord’.
