Lost in Invasion

WASHINGTON, June 10 (UP)
Some 24,000 paratroopers, the
equivalent of two air-borne diW-
sions, were flown from British
fields to the French invasion front
on D-Day in more than 1000
army transport planes with loss
of only about "a aircraft, the war
department disclosed tonight.
The department said the ar
mazda was "the largest fleet OF
transport aircraft ever assem-
bled." numbering more than three
times the $50 planes operated by
u. S. commercial airlines before
the war.
The D-Day figures cover only
the fighting men flown in power
transports. They do not include
those ferried across the English
Channel in gliders.
The transports were CATS, the
army version of the twin-engined
DEB, standard commercial air
liner. The CATS job is not only
to carry troops to the front but
also TO resupply those troops and
evacuate wounded.
