My father was a photographer with the 9th Army Air Corps. These are a few of the D-Day flotilla and offloading photos he took home with him.

Crud, sorry about forgetting to include the resolution in the title.

While he landed on a secured beach already equipped with floating docks, he put his time in over the beaches in a stripped-down bomber. The bomb racks had been replaced with a stereoscopic camera. (How I wished some of those made it into his collection.) They'd fly over the beach taking photos until they used up all the film or got attacked, then they'd drop to wave-top height and run for England. Fighters circling just out of sight of the land would engage any pursuers.

The ship he was on was the [Empire Mace](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Empire_ships_(M\)#Empire_Mace).

Great for the D-Day anniversary & remembrance.

This is awesome stuff. Thanks for sharing.
