EDITORS COMMENTS
The Allied invasion of southern France during the Second World War was a pivotal moment in history, and this print captures the intensity and bravery of those involved. As Douglas C-47 Skytrain carriers from the United States Army 12th Air Force soared through the sky, parachutes filled the air over the picturesque coast of Southern France. The image showcases a crucial moment as men and supplies were dropped onto new beachheads between Nice and Marseilles on August 27th, 1944. The sight of countless paratroopers descending from above symbolizes both hope and determination in their mission to liberate occupied territories.
