Key Takeaways:
During the D-Day Squadron's 2024 Legacy Tour in the U.K., valuable Bose headsets and GoPro gear were stolen from one of their World War II-era DC-3 aircraft.
Bose, a longtime supporter of the D-Day Squadron, swiftly donated five new A30 aviation headsets to replace the stolen equipment.
The timely donation allowed the Western Airlines DC-3 crew to comfortably continue their historical mission, including participating in the 75th-anniversary commemoration of the Berlin Airlift.
It is never fun when someone steals from you, especially when you are traveling overseas as part of a historical aviation event like D-Day Squadron’s 2024 Legacy Tour.
The tour, made up of 11 World War II-era DC-3s and C-47s, began in North America in May before heading to England to take part in events marking the 80th anniversary of D-Day.
