And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

P-38 Lightning (4N-K) of the 367th Fighter Group in flight over a D Day invasion beach.
I think the photo is mislabeled. The Seine ends at the port of Le Havre. I see a bunch of ships heading to a beach. Le Havre is only 15 miles from Sword Beach and the P38 has invasion stripes so I'm guessing this photo was taken over one of the D-Day beaches, probably Sword judging by the curvature of the shore.
We produced SO MANY different, powerful, and interesting aircraft during WW2 at the apex of propeller driven flight.
ReplyDeleteThe Seine sure got wide! That may be at the mouth of the Seine.
