Brings the history of June 6, 1944 to the present through the lens of one squadron and their epic recreation journey across the North Atlantic to Normandy for the 75th Anniversary of D-Day.

June 6, 2019 marks the 75th Anniversary of D-Day, which will be celebrated and honored by roughly half a million people convening in Normandy from around the globe. In the US, a squadron of WWII- era DC3/C47 planes is forming, championed by people from across the country, who have invested thousands of hours to honor the great WWII generation and those who sacrificed their lives to protect the freedom of people worldwide. The squadron members' reasons for taking this trip and their backgrounds vary, but their intentions and this journey in 70+ year old airplanes unite them. This documentary will feature some of the few remaining WWII veterans and the unique stories of the people and airplanes that traveled from the United States crossing the Atlantic and arriving in Normandy to honor D-Day and the historic events surrounding it.—Sound Off Films
