3-4 airborne divisions were avaliable for operations on D-Day. The challenge was the amount of transport aircraft & gliders avaliable, and the number of qualified pilots who would be trained in time. Air lift resources, as with sea lift, would prove an effective brake on the aspirations of the Allied commanders.

The first intruiging What If amidst familiar generality
"Given his lamentable lack of combat experience, Dollmann was the worst possible choice anyone could've made for senior command on a potential invasion coast. He shoulders the blame for 7th army's lack of training, poor defeences & hopeless reaction to D-Day. A 7th army with almost anyone else at the helm would've given the Allies a much harder fight on 6 june."
