Musings on D-Day 75th Anniversary

After spending the early morning hours watching the ceremonies in Europe commemorating the D-Day Invasion, my mind swept back to memories of my father who served in the Eighth Air Force, known as The Mighty 8th.

He was stationed in England for at least a year and worked under General James Doolittle. He was not a pilot and I don't know exactly what he did.  He never went in to detail. However, online resources say that after General Doolittle took over, the Eighth Air Force bombed Germany from February through May just before the Invasion. They destroyed German air fields, railroads, aircraft factories, oil refineries, production and supply factories.  They also attacked the German front line on D Day.

Below are a few books to read about D-Day. I am putting them on my TBR list.
