The fiercest air battles since the Battle of Britain were fought by the R. A. F
The fiercest air battles since the Battle of Britain were fought by the R.A.F. and the newest R.A.F. Command, Army Cooperation, during the biggest-ever Combined Operations raid on Dieppe on 19th August. A total of 82 enemy machines were destroyed for certain, with 100 more probables. Canadian and U.K. Special Service Troops carried out the raid with a detachment of a U.S. Ranger Battalion and a small contingent of Fighting French. The force was carried and escorted by the Royal Navy. RAF armourers seen here fitting fins to bombs prior to loading on to RAF Boston bombers taking part in Operation Dieppe
