Re: july 1943, Lancasters over north italy
I guess the 617 Sqn ORB confirms that the first operation took place during the night 15/16 July. As mentioned in the ORB and in 'Beyond the dams to the Tirpitz' two aircraft suffered minor damage; those flown by F/Lt Munro and F/Lt McCarthy. Acording to the book the bomb-aimer in Munro's aircraft suffered cuts to his face after his panel was hit. He later made a one wheel landing at Blida.
