Avro Lancaster planes of RAF Bomber Command carpet bomb a road junction near Villers
Avro Lancaster planes of RAF Bomber Command carpet bomb a road junction near Villers Bocage, Normandy, Northern France through which the 2nd and 9th SS Panzer Divisions were expected to move to carry out an attack on the junction of the British and American armies.
The daylight attack, by 266 aircraft of Nos. 3, 4 and 8 Groups, was carried out at 4, 000 feet to ensure that the target indicators dropped by the Pathfinders were seen and 1, 100 tons of bombs were dropped with great accuracy.
