    Operation Olympic


    Operation Olympic, the planned invasion of Kyushu on November 1, 1945, called for massive air attacks on the Japanese home islands. Hundreds of Navy fighters, dive-bombers, and torpedo planes were assigned to hit targets all over the island of Honshu in support of the operation. As Allied landing craft neared the beaches of Kyushu on November 1, waves of planes from no less than 66 aircraft carriers would bomb, rocket, and strafe enemy fortifications and troop concentrations along the beaches.

    Please add any more information.

    Operation Oyster. This was a daring low level raid on the Philips radion factory at Eindhoven. The raid was led by the Bostons and Ventureas of 21, 464 and 487 Sqds. This was a very successful operation.
