Hours after the Allied invasion in Normandy, on June 6, 1944, a Mustang Mk III (FZ190) of 19 Squadron of the Royal Air Force has landed at B-12, a British Advanced Landing Ground,  for repairs.

Dozens of similar airfields were temporarily built by Allied engineers to support the advance into Europe, allowing 2nd Tactical Air Force aircraft to operate closer to the frontlines.
 
The pilot, Flight Officer F. H. Price, is welcomed by a priest from the local church, Martragny on Sainte-Croix-sur-Mer, and Free French partisan fighters. Angels were always welcomed.
