A-20, A-26, B-17, B-25 and B-26 bombers, and P-38, P-47, P-51 fighters to name a few.

In thousands of ships and aircraft.
The Allies used aircraft to bomb the beaches and ships to bombard them before the invasion. Their troops used many different rifles, machine guns, and tanks after the invasion.
D-Day was on June 6, 1944. On the day of the Allied invasion of Normandy, the Allies were able to place almost 13,000 aircraft in the air to aid the invasion. In contrast to this the Germans could only muster 319 warplanes.
The D-Day invasion of Normandy could not have happened without the US. America supplied millions of troops, many ships, aircraft and weapons.
I Belive that there were p-51s,dc-3s and other ones that im not sure about. The Allies used thousands of planes for bombing and attacking the German troops and supplies. They sent all the aircraft that could be used in any way. So basically, any aircraft that was stationed in UK was sent to support the invasion. On the day of the invasion, the German air force only sent two FW-190 fighters to attack the troops.
Stuff - over 7,000 boats and ships, over 11,000 aircraft, hundreds of tons of ammunition and naval shells, and all kinds of other things.
Gliders dropped British Commandos in advance of 'the push'... It is my understanding that it was 'in for a penny, in for a pound' so EVERYTHING available was utilized. Feel free to add...
There was no change in the type of aircraft used during D-Day that hadn't been used during previous campaigns in Europe; the aircraft were the same.
Off the shore of Normandy beach their were over 500 boats over one hundred different types, their were also over 1,200 transport aircraft carrying the paratroopers
invasion day
The term D-Day was used by the military to indicate the day an attack or invasion was to be begun. During the course of World War II, the term was used so much that it was replaced with others, such as A-Day, which was used for the invasion of Leyte. There were many D-Days, but when the term is used without qualification or other context, it nearly always refers to the D-Day invasion in Normandy, on June 6, 1944. There are links below.
There was only one German aircraft seen over the beaches on D-Day. This was attributed to constant attacks on their airfields by the Allied forces.
