interesting thought Greyghost. It is hard to fault them for not approving the air invasion. That is a lot of eggs in every basket and air crew\air plane losses were still horrendous, especailly in '42. Higher casualty rates than marines. Thinking that was in their heads and even with air superiority you would have to account for antiaircraft. I suppose it if were possible to land within range of naval bombardment and combine air forces with naval support ....might have been an interesting tactic. Being able to land plane after plane behind enemy lines though.......logistics and supply headache.
Gliders seemed a brilliant idea for D-day. Would not have wanted to be in one but I like the out of boxness of it.
