Le Mans airfeild Bombing raid, 9/10 June 1944
I have conflicting accounts of RAF/RCAF bomb drop on Le Mans airfeild, one version is airfield was cratered with no damage to a/c. The other is several a/c destroyed/damaged even though they were camouflaged, and moved several hundred meters from feild. along with several buildings destroyed, no casualties?. Can anyone give me correct version? and are there any recon photos? documents descibing results of this raid? My Uncle would be shot down a week later on a bombing raid over Sterkrade, I am collecting info on his previous 19 Sorties.
Thanks, Alan
