The story
GERMANY
68 Hampdens and Wellingtons to 6 targets. 1 Wellington lost.
3 further Wellingtons from the newly formed Operational Training Units (O.T.U.s) carried out leaflet raids to towns in France and 1 of them bombed an airfield. This was the first example of the short operational flights made by crews at the end of their training period. These flights were usually to short-range targets in Northern France; most of them were leaflet raids but sometimes bombs were dropped.
