Official film of the aircraft, the personel and the raids were limited to what could be undertaken in the frenzy of live war and during what were, on many occasions, night-time flights. Private use of cameras was much frowned upon but did exist and enabled subsequent generations to better appreciate how the bombing squadrons operated. This is the purpose of this pictorial account - to give a flavour of the drama of those days." RAPID1 RAPID2или IFOLDER1 IFOLDER2 85 More than 50 years after the bombing campaign, much research has gone into supplying the who, when, where, and why.
