Big Week February 1944 RAF fighter escort
Hello everyone,
during the February 1944 Big Week operation, several airfields in the Netherlands were raided by USAAF B-26 bombers, escorted by RAF fighter aircraft. Were these RAF fighters involved in the strafing of airfields or solely flying escort? Regards, Timon |

Timon,
Can you please be more specific? There was so much going on in February, and the months leading up to June... Thanks, Stephen |

Thank you Steve!
Stephen, Steve's answer is satisfactory. I know enough. I was indeed pointing at the 20 to 25 February 1944 operation Argument. Kind regards, Timon |
