Overview
Several attacks by 12 and 626 Sqn’s on flying bomb sites this week – these sites had been bombed so much in recent days that it was becoming difficult to ascertain what damage was being caused. During the attack on Vierzon on 30 June, 4 aircraft were lost from Wickenby. In total, this week 6 aircraft were lost, 28 aircrew were killed, 9 became POW’s and 4 evaded capture.
