Operation Margin, The Augsburg Raid, Lancasters Over Augsburg
Operation Margin - The Augsburg Raid took place on April 17th 1942 by the Royal Air Force.
In early 1942, Operation Margin was drawn up to attack the U-Boat engine factory in Ausburg, Germany.
44 Sqn and 97 Sqn of the RAF would fly the new heavy bomber, the Avro Lancaster, which had just entered service on a daring, low level, daylight bombing raid to destroy the MAN U-Boat Engine factory in Ausburg.
Led by Squadron Leader John Nettleton, it would be the most daring RAF bombing raid of world war two yet. The aircrews would need to show outstanding bravery and skills to achieve their aim.
If successful, it would seriously damage the German U-Boat campaign as the MAN factory supplied almost half of all engines to Germany's U-Boat fleet.
This would also be a test mission to explore the performance of the newest heavy bomber in the RAF, The Avro Lancaster
