The Placid Lassie played a "critical role during World War II" as the Air Show explains it flew during the D-Day invasion on June 6, 1944.  The Air Show writes:

Unlike many restored warbirds, "Placid Lassie" is the real deal—these very rivets crossed the English Channel and helped shape history.

You can learn more about the Placid Lassie and "honor the legacy of the brave crews who flew her" on August 10th and 11th at the Orange County Airport in Montgomery, New York.
