June 10th 1944, D+4
The landing phase of Operation Overlord has been successful so far. RAF Servicing Commando Units arrived at Gold beach on D+1 and immediately began to construct airfields under the constant barage of German 88mm guns still in range of the beachhead. In our sector we now have eight operational airfields.
Earlier today, Wg Cdr J Johnson landed with 36 Spitfires of 144 Canadian Wing at B3 airfield at Croix sur Mer. 602 Squadron is now based at B8.
You will lead 602 Squadron RAF in 80 missions supporting the invasion as it fights yard by yard against elite German Panzer Divisions. From the failures of Operation Epsom and Perch to the breakthrough of Operation Cobra and the liberation of Northern France.
Coming soon...
