ABOVE THE BATTLE: D-DAY THE LOST EVIDENCE

The aerial reconnaissance photographs taken over the D-Day beaches, revealing the life and death struggle below: the bloody slaughter on Omaha Beach; the daring capture of Pegasus Bridge; the taking of Pointe-du-Hoc. Even individual actions such as the attack by "Easy" Company of the 506th Parachute Infantry Company on the gun battery at Brecourt Manor (later immortalised in the book and television series "Band of Brothers") were captured on aerial photographs, as they happened. Later dispersed and scattered to archives and collections around the world, these classified images, this lost evidence of D-Day, has now been painstakingly tracked down and re-assembled. Even images previously thought destroyed, or misplaced for sixty years have been traced and seen for the first time.
