Re: RAF bombing on 15/08/1944
Alain,
A little info on RAF Bomber Command diary:http://www.raf.mod.uk/bombercommand/aug44.html 15 August 1944 1,004 aircraft - 599 Lancasters, 385 Halifaxes, 19 Mosquitos, 1 Lightning - attacked 9 airfields in Holland and Belgium in preparation for a renewed night offensive against Germany. Visibility was perfect and all raids were considered successful. 3 Lancasters lost. If you follow link, then you have two pics of the bombed airfields in Belgium. Groet, Leendert
