2014年6月5日，法国诺曼底，英国空军曾经的D日老兵 C-47A 运输机纪念诺曼底登陆战70周年。这种运输机由DC-3民用客机衍生而成，是二战盟军广泛采用的机种之一，为盟军提供了高机动性的空中运输能力，在各场战役中被广泛采用，尤其是D日空降诺曼底以及随后展开的市场花园作战、突出部之役中更是空运中坚，在英国及英联邦C-47系列运输机被命名为 Dakota（达科他）。（2014 marks the 70th Anniversary of the D-Day landings of 6th June 1944, on Normandy beaches in France. The Allied invasion of Normandy on 6 June 1944 was the largest amphibious assault ever launched. More than 75,000 British, Canadian and other Commonwealth troops landed on the beaches alongside the United States and the Free French, in an Allied invasion force of more than 130,000. Another 7,900 British troops were landed by air. Supporting the invasion were more than 7,000 ships and smaller vessels off the coast (including the famous HMS Belfast) and 11,000 aircraft. In total, British and Commonwealth casualties (killed, wounded or missing) on D-Day numbered approximately 4,300. The invasion established a crucial second front in the liberation of Europe from Nazi occupation, ultimately leading to victory for Allied Forces in 1945.）
