Neither this article or the article referencing Operation Detroit link to any source that verifies those names were actually used. Is there any source out there that does?

All documentation I've read says the airborne operations were rolled into Operation Neptune.

Operation Chicago is not the correct nickname[edit]

The true nickname of this opération is Operation Albany. Operation Chicago is a later landing of gliders. Reference : http://www.6juin1944.com/assaut/aeropus/en_page.php?page=para —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.247.161.21 (talk) 19:32, 7 December 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Correct. Many many errors in this stub. Also, it was, per the operations order, mission Albany. There is a source for this (and also for the misnomer Mission Detroit in another article) and when I can I will clean up both if no one has done it before me. The US airborne missions were:

parachute - Albany (101), Boston (82) - early on D-Day, 800 aircraft and 6 regiments
glider - Chicago (101), Detroit (82) - pre-dawn D-Day 100 tugs and their gliders, support
glider - Keokuck (101), Elmira (82) - evening of D-Day 200 tugs and their gliders, support
glider - Galveston and Hackensack (both 82d) - D+1 morning, 200 tugs and their gliders, 1 regiment--Buckboard 06:37, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
