S3 Series

Against AVM Harris' recommendations, the Bomber Command was tasked to conduct risky daylight raids against the heavily fortified Vengeance Weapon storage sites near St-Omer. Promises of 2TAF escorts softened the request, but Harris considered this a distraction from his strategic bombing campaign. The LW was ready, and although most fighter forces had withdrawn to defend the Reich, those left behind were among the LW's best.
The circuitous route followed by the RAF bombers did not fool the LW, who attacked early and hard, stripping away several high altitude Tempests.
Bomber Command flew two missions, and while all of the storage sites were destroyed, losses were catastrophic. Two Squadrons of Lancasters were essentially wiped out. Even Churchill realized these losses were not justified for the long term, and Bomber Command was released from NOBALL operations to continue its night attacks against Germany.
