An American Army private, swimming against death in the English Channel, is rescued I the nick of time by a Coast Guard Rescue Cutter, one of the gallant flotilla that is credited with more than 1,100 rescues off the Normandy coast since D-Day, June 6, 1944. The total rises constantly as wrecked Allied fliers are hauled into the Coast Guard’s “always-ready” 83-footers. Here Private William Benneville, swims toward a line cast by Coast Guardsman James P. Hoban, right, Gunner’s Mate Third Class, while Emil Kasza, Boatswain’s Mate First Class, stands by to lend a hand in the rescue. (5/19/2015). 26-G-2688: Normandy Invasion, June 1944.
