Normandy 1944
Airborne Museum, Sainte-Mère-Église
Museum
The story
Reconstruct what happened before any Easy man touched French soil: overloaded C-47s, darkness, flak, jump lights, static lines and landing alone. Aircraft, glider, uniforms and equipment make it physical.
What to look for
Give special attention to the C-47 and 101st interpretation — the best place to understand what a 'stick' meant.
