In Europe the Allies made landings on Sicily (1943) and Italy (1943-44), but the most spectacular example of amphibious warfare was the invasion of Normandy by the Allies from England on June 6, 1944 (see Normandy campaign ). That action was a prime example of combined movements of naval craft, land forces, and aircraft (used for offense, protection of other forces, and transport).
