Violette Szabo June 8th 1944

Hi,

Can anyone confirm who dropped Violette Szabo and two other agents into France on June 8th 1944. I was under the impression it was Tempsford but I have been told it was a Yank outfit the 801st 'Carpetbaggers'

Can anyone confirm this please, I am aware of Wiki. The reason I am asking is that a Stirling rear gunner of No.149 reported a B24 at low level dropping 'Agents' on this night ?

TIA
Steve
