Normandy 1944 : the Canadian summer / Bill McAndrew, Donald E. Graves, Michael Whitby.: D61-3/1993E-PDF
"This book commemorates the fiftieth anniversary of Canadian participation in Operation Overlord, the Allied assault on occupied France. This operation was one of the greatest Allied achievements of the Second World War. Canadians were involved in almost every aspect of this massive undertaking and played a significant part in its success. Royal Canadian Air Force crews flew bombers, fighters and reconnaissance aircraft, some in Canadian and others in British squadrons. Royal Canadian Navy sailors swept mines, manned landing craft, hunted submarines and surface vessels, and provided fire support. Canadian soldiers from all regions of Canada were among the first assault troops to land in Normandy, and they distinguished themselves in almost three months of bitter fighting in the fields of France, from Caen to beyond Falaise"--Preface, page [11].
