On an airstrip in Connecticut, a squadron of WorId War ll-era DC3/C47 airplanes is forming the distinctive, throaty roar of their massive radiaI 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, Scotland, EngIand and finaIIy across the EngIish ChanneI to Normandy, France where, on June 6, 2019, the members of this remarkabIe squadron wilI join roughly 500, 000 people from all over the globe to ceIebrate the 75th Anniversary of D-Day. The squadron members' backgrounds and personal 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 celebrating their return home. For many of the men and women who served in World War lI, seeing the vintage airplanes again sparked memories Iong held deep inside. At each stop on the journey from the United States to France, we wilI meet veterans as they reconnect with the planes that fIew, provisioned, rescued, supported and meant so much to them during wartime. lNTO FLlGHT ONCE MORE is narrated by Gary Sinise.
