On June 6th, 1944, 45 Allied divisions with almost three million men with their heavy armor began landing on the Normandy beaches in France as the invasion of Europe took full effect. Air support was essential, and one of the largest deployments of Allied aircraft ever seen darkened the skies above the channel.

Originally assigned to the 361st Fighter Group, the "Harriet" was involved in an accident in May 1944, and was classified "war weary" becoming one of the first P-47s assigned to the Air/Sea Rescue Squadron. Coded 5F-G, with serial number 42-75228, this aircraft served with the unit until most of its P-47s were retired in May 1945.
