Our History

The D-Day Wings Museum is a historic aircraft hangar. From June 1940 to 1941 in Carpiquet, the Luftwaffe gathered its Stuka bombers here for the Battle of Britain—D-Day’s objective! Our hangar was liberated on July 9, 1944, by the Canadians during Operation Windsor, at the cost of hundreds of lives. Come and explore our collection of aircraft and aviation artifacts to discover what happened in the skies on June 6, 1944!
