Riassunto

Monty Berger was the first RCAF ground officer to land on the beaches of Normandy on June 7, 1944, washing ashore at dawn of D-Day+1.  Invasions Without Tears, based on a manuscript Mr. Berger wrote 50 years ago, gives us a personal account, both in the air and on the ground, of what life was like with 126 Wing, one of the most formidable fighting forces of World War II.

Recensione:

"Invasions Without Tears is both a straightforward, largely factual account of 126 Wing's exploits and a highly convincing view of the important role played by the Tactical air Force during the campaign." --The Globe and Mail
"The first detailed account of the RCAF's famed 126 Wing's extraordinary combat record...A comprehensive, poignant account." --Canadian General Aviation News
