  Killed in Action on D-Day Normandy, France 501st Parachute Infantry Regiment 101st Airborne Division T/4 Joseph Lloreda Jr., paratrooper of the 501st PIR, took off from station 464 in Merryfield, UK in C-47 42-101025 to drop over DZ-D as part of Operation Albany during the Normandy invasion. Their target time was 01:34. Their plane was the last of five waves to cross the Cotentin, over air defenses now on full alert. To complicate matters, there were heavy clouds at 1500 feet, gone unreported due to the strict radio silence. Some pilots decided to pull up and find their DZs with the Eureka-Rebecca system, others went low to obtain a visual of their DZs, and a rare few stayed the course through the cloud bank. While approaching their drop, the plane came under heavy flak fire. It exploded in mid-air at 01:42.
