Campaign report of the RAF:
20/21 November 1942
Turin
232 aircraft - 86 Lancasters, 54 Wellingtons, 47 Halifaxes, 45 Stirlings - on the largest raid to Italy during this period. 3 aircraft - 1 Halifax, 1 Stirling, 1 Wellington - lost.
This was another successful attack, with large fires being started. Dense smoke prevented further observations of the effects of the bombing but the casualty roll in Turin, 117 dead and 120 injured, confirms that many bombs fell in the city.
Minor Operations: 4 Stirlings minelaying in the River Gironde, 4 OTU sorties. No losses.
21/22 November 1942
Minelaying: 30 aircraft to Biscay ports from Lorient to Bayonne without loss.
