Original Caption states: "Scene from a Beachhead. Protected by gun fire of Allied Naval Units from the sea, and an air umbrella by Allied Expeditionary Air force and balloon barrage close over head; this photograph could represent another large scale exercise. It is very real, however, taken some time after D-Day by a combat cameraman of the Ninth Air Force, Easy Green Beach, St. Laurent Sur Mer Airfield, France."
This primary source comes from the Records of U.S. Air Force Commands, Activities, and Organizations.
