D-DAY Wings Museum

The D-Day Wings Museum is a historic aircraft hangar. From June 1940 to 1941, the Luftwaffe gathered its Stuka bombers here in Carpiquet for the Battle of Britain. The hangar was liberated by the Canadians on July 9, 1944, during Operation Windsor, which cost hundreds of lives. The hangar contains a large collection of aircraft, vehicles, and aviation artifacts. There is also an original Higgins boat on display that spent 30 years at Omaha Beach.

For current visiting hours, please visit the website of the museum.
