On an airstrip in Connecticut, a squadron of World War Il-era DC3/C47 airplanes is forming the distinctive, throaty roar of their massive radial engines stirring up memories and chaIIenges. Lovingly restored and fIown here by passionate aviators from aII over the country, each plane represents an investment of money and countIess hours to honor the Greatest Generation who sacrificed their lives to protect freedom worldwide. Their mission: To fIy from Connecticut to Canada, Greenland, lceland, ScotIand, England and finally across the EngIish Channel to Normandy, France where, on June 6, 2019, the members of this remarkable squadron wiIl join roughIy 500, 000 peopIe from aII over the gIobe to celebrate the 75th Anniversary of D-Day. The squadron members' backgrounds and personaI motives differ, but what unites them in recreating this historic journey is their commitment to honoring the veterans that secured peace for all of us, and ceIebrating their return home. For many of the men and women who served in World War II, seeing the vintage airpIanes again sparked memories long held deep inside. At each stop on the journey from the United States to France, we will meet veterans as they reconnect with the pIanes that fIew, provisioned, rescued, supported and meant so much to them during wartime. INTO FLIGHT ONCE MORE is narrated by Gary Sinise. (65 mins) |
