Description
83 Squadron tells the story of one of six front-line units representing 5 Group at the start of World War II. Based at RAF Scampton, the squadron played a significant role in the early years of the conflict.
The squadron's operations were marked by courage and determination from its young pilots, who faced the prospect of death with conviction. Despite the loss of many comrades, the squadron continued to operate, conducting bombing missions deep into Germany and carrying out mining operations from southern France to the Baltic.
