Two years after returning 15 WWII-era DC-3s to Normandy for\nthe 75th anniversary commemorations of D-Day, and the 70th of the Berlin\nAirlift, \u201cInto Flight Once More\u201d makes it to the big screen at the largest\nairshow in the world, EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh, WI. The film previews on\nThursday, July 29, at approximately 9:45p.m. CT at the Fly-In Theater. Produced\nby Sound Off Films and narrated by Gary Sinise, the film brings to life the\nstories of WWII veterans, crews, and a most historic reenactment of \u201cOperation\nOverlord,\u201d the codename for the Battle of Normandy, which took place on June 6,\n1944.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no greater reward to all of us who fly, operate and\nmaintain these historic aircraft having returned them to Europe to honor the\nfallen, and the surviving veterans of our Greatest Generation,\u201d shared Eric\nZipkin, chief pilot for the Mission to Normandy and president of Tunison\nFoundation\u2019s board of directors, which led the mission in 2019. \u201cEach of us\nhave close family members and relatives who served in WWII. Watching the rough\ncut of the film brought emotions we thought we\u2019d never feel, and seeing our\nefforts supported by veteran advocate, philanthropist and award-winning actor,\nGary Sinise, is incredibly humbling as well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At this year\u2019s airshow, the D-Day Squadron will involve\neight aircraft from the 15 that returned to Normandy in 2019. The aircraft will\nfly, be on display for public viewing, and there will be opportunities to\nconnect with members of the new DC-3 Society that was launched last September.\nThe D-Day Squadron will fly together in the warbird show Monday-Thursday. On\nFriday and Saturday of the show, they will perform during the D-Day portion, a\nchronology of the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We invite you to attend this Special Preview Screening of\nthe film. Hosted by EAA, Into Flight Once More will be part of a week-long\ncelebration honoring WWII veterans and aviation professionals. This sneak peek\nscreening will be open to all who attend EAA AirVenture and will open with a\nbrief conversation with director Adrienne Hall. We will be announcing the\npremiere date shortly, along with other opportunities to see the film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen I started making this film, I didn’t know the full\nextent of the experience of the squadron. Comprised of the most skilled and\nexperienced pilots living today, the D-Day Squadron has put thousands of hours\nand tremendous resources towards honoring remaining WWII veterans,\u201d shared\nAdrienne Hall, film director. \u201cConnecting with and hearing the stories of these\nveterans was the honor of a lifetime and we are thrilled to share how the whole\njourney came together in our new film, Into Flight Once More.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
