Produced as a companion piece for our D-Day C-47 'Skytrain' and Dakota Mk III Enhancement for the MAAM-SIM R4D / DC-3 CD, by the team's scenery designer, Bill Womack, this scenery is our gift to the FS community at large. It is our hope that users of the scenery will remember and honor all those who gave their lives - not just the Americans - 61 years ago.
About the Cemetery The World War II Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial is situated on a cliff overlooking Omaha Beach and the English Channel in Colleville-sur Mer, France. It is just east of St. Laurent-sur-Mer and northwest of Bayeux about one hundred and seventy miles west of Paris. The cemetery is located on the site of the temporary American St. Laurent Cemetery, established by the U.S. First Army on June 8, 1944, the first American cemetery on European soil in World War II. The cemetery is at the north end of its one half mile access road and covers one hundred and seventy-two acres. It contains the graves of 9,387 American military Dead, most of whom gave their lives during the landings and ensuing operations of World War II. You may download the scenery from the file library.
