RAF At War - Combined Operations
RAF At War - Combined Operations : short review
An insight into the British preparations for D-Day and the thinking behind the strategy for invasion. The films stresses the need for cooperation between the British armed forces: The Navy must deliver the ground troops while the RAF provides air superiority. The RAF has further roles in bombing strategic targets before the invasion, and then delivering paratroopers and glider borne forces on the day of the invasion while sweeping the sealanes ahead of the invasion force for U boats and other enemy vessels. It also examines the logistics demands placed upon the RAF, the ability to create forward airfields and other pressing issues created by the demands of the greatest amphibious assault in history. Also included is the film, 'Visual Deception, 1940', produced by the Royal Air Force Film Production Unit. From dummy aircraft and airfields to fake burning cities, it reveals the extraordinary lengths that Britain went through during the war to present the Luftwaffe with tempting illusionary targets and to conceal genuine targets.
