A Handley Page Hampden of No. 49 Squadron being ‘bombed up’ at Scampton, June 1940. Germany’s synthetic oil industry, based on the nation’s plentiful supplies of coal, was already a priority objective, but Bomber Command lacked the strength to do any serious damage. Early RAF raids involved small numbers of aircraft being despatched against several targets over the space of a night. The majority missed their objectives by miles. On the night of 16-17 August this aircraft failed to return from a raid against the Leuna petroleum works at Merseburg. From HERE

“Flight Lieutenant A R Costello of No. 112 Squadron poses with his Curtiss Kittyhawk at Sidi Heneish in Egypt, April 1942. If any aircraft came to symbolise the Desert Air Force it was the rugged, American-built P-40, known to the RAF as the Tomahawk and Kittyhawk. No. 112 Squadron famously decorated its aircraft with ‘sharkmouth’ nose art. Early versions lacked high-altitude performance, which made them vulnerable to the Messerschmitt Bf 109F, but the Kittyhawk went on to become an effective ground attack aircraft.” From HERE
