EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Memorial to ALG B4 (Beny-sur-Mer) in Normandy, France. The site holds significant historical importance as the first landing ground used by the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) during the D-Day invasions on June 6, 1944. The 126 Wing of the RCAF, comprised of 401, 411, and 412 Squadrons, played a crucial role in the Allied air campaign during the Normandy landings. The squadrons were equipped with the iconic Spitfire aircraft, which provided essential air support and protection for the advancing ground forces. The first Spitfire to land at ALG B4 was a damaged aircraft that came down on June 12, 1944. The landing ground, located near the village of Beny-sur-Mer, became a vital base for the RCAF squadrons, allowing them to continue their operations in support of the Allied forces. The Memorial to ALG B4 stands as a tribute to the brave pilots and ground crew who served at this important airfield during the Normandy campaign. The image of the memorial, with its simple yet poignant design, serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by the men and women of the RCAF during World War II. This photograph, taken by an unknown photographer, offers a glimpse into history, transporting us back to a time of courage, determination, and resilience. The Memorial to ALG B4 in Normandy remains a testament to the enduring legacy of the Royal Canadian Air Force and its role in the Allied victory in Europe.
