Operation Overlord page 6 by ric gustafson
By 3:30 am on June 6 1944, 3467 bombers, 1645 medium bombers and 5409 fighters took to the skies over France. More than 14000 sorties were done that day. The Royal Air Force led the bombing on the French coast. Then the US Eighth Air Force hit the beaches to try to soften them up.
Planes included the B 17 and B 24. The British Lancasters and B26 Marauders. The US P 38 and P 47. German air forces pretty much stayed away from the invasion.
