The story
GENOA
Bomber Command established a small detachment at the French airfield of Salon, near Toulon, so that raids could more easily be carried out against Italian targets. 8 Wellingtons from this force were dispatched to Genoa but only 1 bombed. 1 Hampden from England made a reconnaissance flight over the North Sea.
