Alain - I would think it was a squadron of 9th AF B-26s in tactical support of invasion troops. No 8th AF Bombers in that area.
Cheers

It may also have been 2nd TAF RAF bombers. Allied air force (8th and 9th AF, 2nd TAF) flew 2960 sorties in support of the ground troops or against V-1 launching sites this day.
But the size of the formation is very probably indicating a medium/light raid.
