This thread is opened in order to attempt to locate the sector of Omaha Beach on which this extremely rare set of five photos were taken. They were shot by James O'Neill's dad as his Landing Craft Tank 544 approached the shoreline on the 6th June.

I have processed the photos through PS in order to gleam as much detail as possible. James posted the originals on our FB page here.

Seventy years ago, courageous soldiers, sailors, and airmen conducted the largest amphibious operation in history. To coincide with this landmark anniversary, I am pleased to announce the publication of my latest book, American Heroes of World War II - Normandy June 6, 1944.

Naval Targets, German Batteries, and WN locations]]> 4 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 19:11:17 +0000 http://normandy.whitebeamimages.ie/forum/threads/naval-support-in-normandy-database.23/ http://normandy.whitebeamimages.ie/forum/threads/naval-support-in-normandy-database.23/ invalid@example.com (John Szweda) John Szweda I am currently collecting information and making notes on the Naval support during D-Day and the days after. What my goal would be is to create a database or at least make the information available. I think it might be a nice addition to have the information available in how it supported Army and Airborne operations. It would basicly be a summary of what ships fired where, and at what time.
