It was the first attempt to raid London in force in 19 months and the city's new anti-aircraft defenses swung into action with the heaviest barrage of the war.

A duel between American Air Forces on Guadalcanal and the enemy's forces at Munda, in the Central Solomons only 180 miles to the northwest, is indicated.

Several hours later the thought occurred to me that it should have been called "Dee for Duck."

The Canadians were: Pilot Officer Oakley Cassibault, 25, Brockville, and our rear gunners: Flying Officer Robert Todd, 24, a wireless operator, Rosemont, Montreal, and Warrant Officer Clayton Thompson, 20, Verdun, Que.
