The admirable pilots of the Allied Forces began air support prior to June 6th by flying the paratroopers over to Normandy, France. On D Day itself they flew in bombs in pre-planned designated areas and when they were called to assist the soldiers on the ground. There was one sad incident when a plane bombed or shot their own friendlies in error. They did do a lot of work, sacrificed their lives and lost some planes on D Day.
Regarding the delivery of the paratroopers and equipment some of the glider planes were able to safely land but many were wrecked when they landed in Field Marshal Rommel's traps of buried poles, metal obstructions and flooded lands. They gave their lives to support the fabulous paratroopers from many nations.
