Was Montdidier bombed on 3/4 May 1944
Dear all,
I'm looking into the pre-invasion bombings by the Allies of I./KG66 airfields in France. In the (very nice) book "The RAF Pathfinders" by Martyn Chorlton it is stated that Montdidier was bombed in the night of 3/4 May 1944 by Lancasters with Mosquito's acting as Pathfinders. However, this attack is not mentioned in the excellent publication "Luftwaffe Airfields 1939-45 (France)" by Larry deZeng. There, the only attacks on Montidier in the same period are 26 April 1944 (low-level attack by VIII Fighter Command P-47s), 8 May (low-level attack by RAF Spitfires) and 30 June (bombardment by 39 B-17s). Can anybody confirm the 3/4 May 1944 attack by Bomber Command and if so, tell me what the damage to the airfield or I./KG66 was? Thanks in advance and best regards, Marcel
