Well there were quite a few C-47s "Sky-trains" which transported paratroopers [Such as the men in Band of Brothers and the fictional Prvt. James Francis Ryan in Saving Private Ryan]. And there were P 51s "tank busters" used later on [those are American]. 11,590 aircraft were available to support the landings. On D-Day, Allied aircraft flew 14,674 sorties, and 127 were lost.
