    DZ Normandy - The Employment of Troop Carrier Forces (1944)
    Training film that covers the airborne invasion of Normandy when around 13,100 paratroopers of the U.S. 82nd Airborne and 101st Airborne Divisions made night parachute drops early on D-Day, June 6, followed by 3,937 glider troops flown in by day. As the opening maneuver of Operation Neptune (the assault operation for Overlord) the American airborne divisions were delivered to the continent in two parachute and six glider missions.
    This Film contains footage of both the 82nd & 101st Airborne units in action.
