Abstract "There can be no doubt that air power played a significant role in Normandy. This volume is not meant to be a comprehensive examination of air power in Normandy, but rather, it will pull together 10-12 chapters on a wide-ranging scope of topics that investigate lesser known, or underexplored, areas of the air campaign"-- Provided by publisher.
