"Angels Eight -- Normandy Air War Diary" by David W Clark

Many are surprised to learn that the fierce battle in the skies over the
Normandy beaches was much like the Battle of Britain -- both in duration,
about 80 days, and in severity, about 3,000 aircraft shot down. Squadron
records of German and Allied units in the Normandy Campaign reveal details
of nearly every aerial encounter that occurred and the pilots who flew them.
In addition, read about the day-to-day lives of the members of one RAF
Commonwealth wing operating from French soil as described from squadron
records and in the words of their pilots' combat reports. This is a book
filled with factual detail written by one whose brother fought and died in
the Normandy Air War.

Well ok if you say so. But I Never saw a single German plane over Omaha beach
as the invasion took place.
