Re: July 4, 1942 First US Raid.
Actually 04.07.42 was not the first, but the 4th July has such propaganda value that it is the one always mentionned
29.06.42 Bostons sent to bomb Hazebrouck railway yards. The mainly 226 Sqn raid was joined by a crew from the 15th Bombardment Squadron (L) USAAF, the first US bombing sortie from the UK in the war. (12 Bostons in total)
