When Mosquitos Raided a Prison

Operation Jericho was a daring plan for an air raid upon the Amiens prison in German-occupied France in 1944. Requiring exceptional precision the plan was for Mosquitos to conduct low level accurate targeting of the prison walls to help French and Allied prisoners escape. A rarity for the crews it gave them the opportunity to immediately save lives with an air operation. There is some controversy as to why exactly the raid was ordered and precisely who requested it to this day.

In our school library, we had this huge book filled with 5 to 10 long wartime propaganda comics, from air operations and sea operations and it had illustrations of various british aircraft Anyways, it had Operation Jericho in it. Essentially, the story was of a downed British pilot (forgot name, gonna call him Oliver) and a Resistance member, who escort Oliver to a rescue rendezvous point. Once Oliver was back in Britain, he found out that the Resistance member was captured by the Gestapo and was imprisoned in the very prison that he was about to destroy. He goes on the mission, the prisoners escape, and a Tiger tank is about to kill the fleeing escapees, when Oliver strafes the tank using his 20 mm Hispanos, killing its crew and then lands to pick up the Resistance member that had helped him. They rejoice, comic ends. I remember it also had a story about a village buying a P40 Warhawk for a brave mechanic that had removed a bomb, another one about an air ace facing new pilots and his rival, another one about the Romainian Army, and one about a squadron of Swordfish that evaded capture after landing with the help of rebels in Greece, and a bunch of others, including a PBY Catalina, an ace singlehandedly defending the whole of Tobruk using a captured Me109 and some other stuff. There were, I believe, two of these kinds of books in the library, and one of them were full of infantry and tank stories. Good times I had reading all day there. Edit: I believe that the name of the book is Commando’s Bandits at 12 O’Clock.

The beautiful DH.98 Mosquito. A legend amongst legends. This was one of many raids that solidified the Mosquito's place in history. The first wave were to destroy the walls with 500lb bombs with an 11 second fuse. The bombs hadn't detonated by the time the second wave arrived, the second wave were forced to circle back and basically became the third wave. Typhoons also took part in the mission as escort on the way in. They peeled off and engaged the enemy fighters while the mosquitos did their work. All in all allied casualties were atleast 2 mosquitos and 3 or 4 typhoons. The documentary Bandits of the Air can be found here on KZbin and goes into this mission as well as the Schelhaus raid and the Philips radio plant in Einhoven.
