Plan your day See historic Duxford's D-Day story take off
Presented by Imperial War Museums, experience IWM Duxford like never before at this year's extra special Duxford Summer Air Show, commemorating the 80th anniversary of D-Day.
We will pay tribute to this momentous anniversary by welcoming ten historic Dakotas – the aircraft synonymous with the D-Day landings – to the skies of Duxford for a series of dramatic flypasts over the weekend and a mass historic parachute jump over the historic airfield on Saturday 1 June.
As a charity, every Duxford Air Show 2024 purchase helps IWM continue to tell stories for future generations.

Flying List Announcements
Discover IWM Duxford's D-Day story in this 80th anniversary year and commemorate through a live-action flying display, living history groups, our museum and static collections the stories of the people who lived and fought during the Second World War – and the significance of the events of 6 June 1944.
Expect more flying announcements on our Flying List page as we countdown to the must-see weekend.
Our partners Aero Legends will be hosting the D-Day Squadron 2024 legacy fleet on the ground at their base at RAF North Weald before our displays on Saturday 1 and Sunday 2 June take place over historic RAF Duxford.
D-Day 80 years on
The D-Day landings, also known as Operation Overlord, was one of the most decisive military campaigns of the Second World War, which saw 156,000 Allied troops arrive in Normandy on 6 June 1944, for a combined naval, air and land assault on Nazi-occupied France.
In partnership with Aero Legends and The D-Day Squadron, the epic Second World War mass flight display will bring the extraordinary story of D-Day to life.
