Monty Berger was the first RCAF ground officer to land on the beaches of Normandy on June 7, 1944, washing ashore at dawn of D-Day+1. Invasions Without Tears, based on a manuscript Mr. Berger wrote 50 years ago, gives us a personal account, both in the air and on the ground, of what life was like with 126 Wing, one of the most formidable fighting forces of World War II.
