Dawn Breakers
by Anthony Saunders
| As the first rays of dawn broke over Gold Beach on the morning of 6 June 1944, twenty-three Halifax bombers from 76 Squadron headed inland over the breaking surf below. Their task: to annihilate the large German coastal gun battery at Mont Fleury that overlooked the beach where elements of the British 50th Division would shortly be landing. As ships of the Royal Navy joined the barrage and with the battery all but silenced, the bombers headed north back towards England, now escorted by American P-51s of the 359th Fighter Group. |
