On May 10, 1940, the Germans launched a relentless assault. Just two days later, a desperate gambit unfolded in the skies over Maastricht. Squadron dispatched six Fairey Battle aircraft, woefully ill-equipped for the ferocious dance of daylight warfare. They were sent to shatter the German advance towards Brussels by bombing bridges over the Albert Canal.
Lacking speed and defensive might, these airborne heroes etched their legacy with daring assaults on the bridges of Maastricht and Sedan.
Divided into two desperate trios, the Battles descended upon their targets, confronting a maelstrom of anti-aircraft fury. Amidst the thunderous cacophony, their metal wings clashed against an unseen foe.
