Gardening by Moonlight
Me and David are proud to present you our research in British, Australian,South African, German,Hungarian and Slovak archives, ‘Gardening by Moonlight’ is about one of the least known and most effective of the Royal Air Force's bombing campaigns of the Second World War. Operating from a group of bases around Foggia, in Central Italy, the RAF's 205 Group mined the River Danube intensively between April and October 1944, radically curtailing the movement of Axis river shipping and at times halting it altogether. The Wellington and Liberator crews had to sow their mines (hence the slang term 'gardening') at low level on moonlit nights, running the gauntlet of night fighters, flak and balloon barrages. Their courage,skill and sacrifice are celebrated in what is an important account of a virtually unknown aspect of the war in the air.

Re: Gardening by Moonlight
Hello!
Sounds interesting! Might have to purchase the book. Were you able to compare the RAF records against the German Naval Diaries? IIRC you asked something liike that years ago and I was not really able to help then. Lack of time as always. Cheers, Kari |
