Aircraft used in Normandy invasion

The allies used a variety of airplanes on D-Day. Fighters such as the P-51 Mustang, P-47 Thunderbolt, P-38 Lightning, and the British Spitfire are some of the examples. Bombers like the B-25 Mitchel, B-26 Maurauder, and the B-17 flying Fortress were flown at Normandy. The C-47 was used to fly Paratroopers and tow gliders to and behind enemy lines. The one thing they had in common were alternating black and white stripes under their wings to help ground forces identify them to prevent freindly fire accidents. Theyse were called invasion stripes.
