June 6, 2024, will mark the 80th anniversary of the Normandy invasion, better known as D-Day. On that day more than 11,000 aircraft were mobilized as Allied forces began a massive land, sea, and air mission that marked the beginning of the end of World War II.
In 2024 the D-Day Squadron plans to commemorate the event and honor those who fought, but they need your help. The squadron, made up of Douglas DC-3/C-47/C-53 airplanes, is raising money with the help of Five Oaks Consulting and a crowdfunding campaign. They need to raise at least $7,500 to kick off publicity efforts for the trip they are calling “The 2024 Legacy Tour.” The full D-Day Squadron campaign over the next year will exceed $1 million.
