97-year-old vet jumps into Normandy, 75 years after D-Day
Tom Rice parachuted into Normandy, France, on the 75th anniversary, riding in the same type of plane he jumped from in 1944: a C-47
In the ensuing Battle of Normandy, 73,000 Allied forces were killed and 153,000 wounded. The battle — and especially Allied bombings of French villages and cities — killed some 20,000 French civilians.
