Re: The RAF's Road to D-Day
He explains how army air support went backwards after the successes of the Desert Air Force, and how this led to a failure to support the troops landing on the D-Day beaches in Normandy. He also describes the subsequent revival of tactical air support and how it went on to play a key role in the subsequent campaigns but questions whether Eisenhower, Montgomery or Tedder ever fully understood how to make best use of the massive aerial forces available to them.
Failure to support the troops landing on D-Day. Hmm |

Re: The RAF's Road to D-Day
A remarkable claim. As I recall, General Eisenhower had a speech prepared in case the landings failed.
