Honor history and heritage with our C-130J Super Hercules D-Day 80th Anniversary Invasion Stripes Flag, a powerful tribute to both World War II aircrews and today’s modern U.S. Air Force Airmen.
In 2024, to commemorate the 80th anniversary of D-Day, select C-130J Super Hercules aircraft were painted with the distinctive black and white invasion stripes—a historically significant marking first applied to Allied aircraft on June 6, 1944. These alternating bands were a critical battlefield innovation, ensuring Allied forces could quickly identify friendly aircraft and avoid deadly friendly-fire incidents during the largest amphibious invasion in history.
Today, units such as the Ramstein-based 37th Airlift Squadron and the Kentucky Air National Guard’s 123rd Airlift Wing proudly carry on this legacy. Their C-130Js, bearing invasion stripes, flew in special anniversary events in France, linking the Airmen of today with the brave legacy of those who took to the skies in WWII.
This flag captures that enduring symbolism:
Design: A C-130J Super Hercules boldly depicted with the historic invasion stripes, set against a striking backdrop that reflects both heritage and strength.
Material: Made from premium polyester knit fabric for long-lasting durability and crisp, vibrant printing.
Size & Display: Perfect for hanging in your home, office, shop, or squadron space. Best suited for indoor display to ensure longevity of the vibrant colors.
Whether you’re a veteran, military family, aviation enthusiast, or history buff, this flag makes an inspiring piece to honor service and sacrifice across generations.
