Take the thousands of tactical missions flown against targets behind the
Normandy beaches to deny the Germans access cutting of re-enforcements.
Bridges, railines, marshalling yards. crossroads, ordnance depots, choke
points, ammo dumps, fuel dnmps, gasometer farms all destroyed contributing to
the success of the D Day landings without which victory would have been
impossible. The Martin Marauder B-26's played a vital role in this effort with
their extremely accurate low level bombing and highly trained crews working in
very tight precision formations..

It took years of strategic bombing to even have a Normandy.
