Canal de Caen à la Mer

Their mission requires adaptations.

Three of the gliders will attack the bridge over the Caen Canal at Benneville.

The other three will attack the bridge over the River Orne at Ranville.

The Caen Canal gliders need specific modifications.

These three fly right-handed turns.

The first pilot therefore sits on the right-hand side of the glider, contrary to the usual left-side position.

The gliders land on two zones.

Landing Zone N lies east of the River Orne, near Ranville.
