Overlord

In 1954, the BBC produced an outstanding documentary series on aerial warfare from 1935 to 1950, comprising fifteen half hour shows that was aired on the first Monday after Remembrance Sunday.
Taking two years to make, and compiled from nearly 12 million feet of Allied and enemy film footage, there had been little to compare with it in terms of scale, depth and content.
This landmark series represents an important piece of television history and will give every viewer an honest telling of the development of airpower.
Some of the highlights include; amazing footage taken from the nose of a Mosquito during low level attacks, camera's placed on the wings of various aircraft and a dozen other earth grazing operations.
This series will make your hair stand up on end!
Part 10 Overlord
As the Allies planned for D-Day, it was obvious that air power would have a number of significant roles to play in support of the forthcoming invasion.On D_Day itself, transports would deliver paratroop forces and deliver elite glider-borne troops, while the combined air forces provided tactical air support in establishing the bridgehead on the beaches.
