Operating from a landing strip carved by RAF airmen and Yugoslav Partisans with picks

Operating from a landing strip carved by RAF airmen and Yugoslav Partisans with picks and shovels out of vineyards among the rocky hill of a. Dalmatian island, Spitfires and Hurricanes of Coastal Air Force are giving Marshal Tito the close air support so vitally needed in his campaign against superior enemy forces.
Pilots of these " Island Commandos" have reported enemy trains blown up, schooners sunk, ferries set on fire and petrol dumps and gun positions destroyed.
They pay high tribute to the RAF ground crews and to the Partisans who keep them constantly in the air.
The Unit is commanded by 21-year old Squadron Leader. A. LeHardy, of Faversham. Kent.
Picture shows: Two Yugoslav girls helping serve the officers in the RAF Officers Mess which is housed in an old brick building on the island.
August 1944
