Best known for night attacks, yes, but by no means exclusively so.

Some notable daylight raids were;

17th April 1942. low-level daylight attack on M.A.N diesel works at Augsburg

17th October 1942. Low-level daylight attack on Le Creusot arms factories.

August 1943 Attack on Peenemunde.

8th June 1944. 12,000lb Tallboy dropped on Saumur Tunnel.

14th March 1945 22,000lb Grand Slam dropped on Bielefeld Viaduct.

12th November 194. Daylight attack which sank Tirpitz in Norway.

1944. Daylight sories attacking German armies near Caen.

25th April 1945. Destroyed hitler's retreat at Berchtesgaden.

And many more.

Regards

Pat Macguire
