Summary: Pre-Invasion "softening up" raids by the Second Tactical Air Force.
Description: Bombers taking off, and a simple map, accompany an explanation of the purpose of these raids - the destruction of anti-invasion shore defences, gun sites, coastal batteries, E-boat pens and hideouts, railway centres and industrial targets, mainly in northern France. Aircraft are seen on their way to their targets, and extensive aerial footage covers each raid: Lancasters and Mitchells evade AA fire; aerial film of bombing raids on shore defence weaponry and engine-repair shops; low-flying raids (Mosquitos) on steel works and power stations; night raid on ammunition dumps, etc. Aircraft featured also include Bostons.
