The story of the squadron by one of its founding members. Founded within days of the better known 617, it was equipped with Mosquitos for a low-level attack on Tirpitz using Barnes Wallis' bouncing bomb. After the X-Craft attack on Tirpitz, they were switched to the Far East. One subunit remained and was fitted with 6 pounder antitank guns. They were used with some success against U-boats. |
