D-Day 75th Anniversary

Pilot Bryan Douglass of Missoula’s own ‘Miss Montana’ is letting it all sink in on this June 6, 2019, exactly 75 years after the mightiest armada of planes ships and soldiers in history crossed the English Channel to begin the liberation of Europe.

‘The invasion of France has begun’. Those were the words of Missoula pilot Bryan Douglass as he flew the ‘Miss Montana’ C-47 aircraft over the English Channel today.

KGVO News spoke with Bryan Douglass, pilot of the famed Miss Montana C-47 aircraft on Tuesday morning not long after the aircraft landed at Oxford Connecticut, on their way to Normandy, France to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the D-Day invasion in 1944.
