On June 6, 1944, the Allied invasion on beaches of Normandy began
as Allied soldiers came ashore during World War II. The invasion was
known as D-Day. 75 years later veterans and aircraft from around the
world came back to Normandy to celebrate the anniversary and honor
the military that made the ultimate sacrifice to liberate the people of
France.
Four of our ISAP members, Gary Daniels, Scott Slingsby, Kevin Hong,
and Steve Zimmermann were able to shoot some of the 75th Anniversa-
ry of D-Day events from unique perspectives in the US and in Normandy.
Scott Slingsby was able to spend time with some of the C-47s and crew
before they departed on their long journey across the Atlantic from the
United States to Normandy. Gary Daniels spent time in Duxford and
Normandy with the paratroopers and the C-47s. While Gary and Scott
photographed more of the aviation side, Kevin Hong and Steve Zimmer-
mann were able to capture some of the singers performing at events
with the Ladies for Liberty and men’s chorus Sound of the Rockies.
We hope our enjoy these stories as we honor the veterans and remem-
ber the 75th Anniversary of D-Day.
