Description

RAF Bomber Command Profiles 467 Squadron RAAF The Australian contribution to the success of Bomber Command was significant, with thousands of airmen trained in their homeland and Canada before joining operational squadrons. In 1942, 467 Squadron RAAF was formed, initially operating in 5 Group, and played a crucial role in several key campaigns, including the Ruhr offensive, the attack on Hamburg, and the final push against Italy and Germany. The squadron's experiences during the winter offensive and the subsequent campaigns against transportation, oil, and V-Weapons were marked by heavy losses, but also by the bravery and leadership of its commanding officers. Despite the challenges, the squadron remained an integral part of 5 Group's efforts, participating in a second Ruhr offensive and attacks on the Dortmund-Ems and Mittelland Canals. This book tells the story of 467 Squadron RAAF, from its formation in 1942 to its disbandment in 1945. With detailed accounts of its operations and the leadership that guided it, this is a valuable contribution to the history of Bomber Command and the Australian contribution to the Allied war effort.
