Aerial photograph taken during the major night raid on the Renault works at
Aerial photograph taken during the major night raid on the Renault works at Boulogne-Billancourt, west of the centre of Paris. The largest number of aircraft sent to a single target so far - 235 - were dispatched, dropping a record tonnage of bombs. A significant development was the mass use of flares to illuminate the target ( 1 and 2 ). Smoke and flame from exploding bombs can be seen on the factory ( 3 ), and also on the Ile St Germain ( 4 and 5 ). Only one aircraft, a Vickers Wellington, was lost during the raid, which was judged to be a great success. 3rd March 1942
