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:

"A fascinating portrait of the day-to-day lives of the pilots and ground crews...A very fond, precise, and emotionally stirring picture of the late days of World War II. The remarkable detail and the immediacy of the writing make this an exceptional book." --Quill & Quire

"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
