An illustrated manual showing the tactical and engineering that made D-Day a success. New oversized case-wrapped hardcover. 4to. ( 8.6 x 0.7 x 10.85 inches) Richly illustrated with both color and black and white photography. Maps. Index. 203 pp. The landing of Allied forces on the shores of Normandy on 6 June 1944 was the greatest amphibious invasion in history. Technology and innovation played crucial parts in the D-Day drama - from tank-carrying gliders, swimming tanks and the Mulberry harbors, to radio and radar aids that ensured landing craft arrived on the right beaches and combat aircraft overhead were controlled. D-Day Operations Manual describes the development, construction and use of a wide range of innovative machines, structures and systems, explaining their uses on D-Day and after, and revealing how they contributed to the success of 'Overlord.'.
