In association with the Imperial War Museum, this remarkable collection of personal histories will mark the 60th anniversary of D-day on June 6th 2004.
June 6th 1944 saw the greatest combined military operation of all time and subsequently D-day has become known as the single most crucial watershed of the last century. To commemorate the 60th anniversary Martin Bowman has compiled a unique collection of personal narratives of the men who were part of this extraordinary moment in history.
Unique in its treatment, this book includes a range of experiences from civilians as well as all ranks from air, land and naval services reflecting the fact that this was a combined operation and not simply a land invasion as it’s often portrayed. Significantly these fascinating accounts, many sourced from Martin Bowman’s extensive contacts with international veterans associations, have been found from all the major nations that took part on the day to authentically represent the combined accomplishment of services and nations.
The book also includes sidebars and information boxes of fascinating factual detail that both anchor the stories to the chronological history of the day and bring the events into pin-point clarity.
Martin Bowman is the author of sixty aviation books on military subjects.
His interest in World War II was fired by the proliferation of US and RAF air bases in his native East Anglia.
His quest has taken him to eighteen countries including the USA, Africa, Australia and Russia. He has flown into the world's war zones of Mogadishu, Somalia and Bosnia... and he has even been catapulted from the USS John F Kennedy!
Martin has also been appointed as official researcher for DERA (Defence, Evaluation and Research Agency).
