• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

SOH-CM-2025
..this aircraft, together with the rest of the 13th Bomb Wing, took off for a mission to Valkenburg, close to where I now live.
Other aircraft flew to other areas in the Netherlands, and more missions followed over the next days.
Many of the crews that participated in these missions later looked back on them as the best thing they did during the war.
What was the name of this operation, and what was their mission, do you know?

The RAF set this up (29th April to 7th May) and called it Operation Manna, not sure if the USAAF, who joined later (May 1st to May 8th), had the same name.
 
Operation Manna, reference to the biblical manna, or heavenly bread. They did fooddrops.
