Jack Warner, a veteran from Huddersfield, recounts his experience as a flight engineer during the D-Day invasion on June 6, 1944. Warner was part of the mission to attack German gun emplacements in Normandy ahead of the largest seaborne invasion in history. Warner, who was 20 years old at the time, had the critical responsibility of taking over the pilot's role if necessary. This mission was part of the broader D-Day operations, which marked a pivotal moment in World War II. The invasion aimed to liberate Western Europe from Nazi control and was a significant turning point in the war. Warner's account highlights the challenges and uncertainties faced by the Allied forces during the early hours of June 6, 1944.
