Overlord's Eagles - Operations of the United States Army Air Forces in the Invasion of Normandy in World War II (Paperback, New edition)

On June 6, 1944, the Allies launched Operation Overlord, the
largest, most hazardous amphibious assault in history. The
objective: establishment of a lodgment area in Normandy from which
the Allies could strike at the heart of Germany and destroy the
German armed forces. Air supremacy over northwest Europe was an
absolute prerequisite for the success of the invasion, and to
achieve it the U.S. Army Air Forces launched two campaigns aimed at
destroying the Germans' transportation advantages in the area. In
the months and days leading up to the assault, the Army Air Forces
ceaselessly bombed rail centers, rendering most of the railways in
northern France and Belgium unusable. Once the actual invasion was
underway, the Allies shifted to an interdiction campaign, using
precise air attacks on critical transportation installations near
the battlefield to neutralize Germany's efforts to resupply and
reinforce their troops. This work makes use of many wartime records
that had remained classified until recently.
