hello guys, I wanted to ask if anyone might be able to give me an idea of the meaning of 126 A/F that is written on this leaflet that was picked up in Normandy please?
says "Dropped on the night of July 23rd/44 (on?) 126 A/F nr St Croix and Creuilly"
Interestingly there was an advanced airfield and On 23 July 1944 Prime Minister Winston Churchill paid a morale boosting visit to B.3 St. Croix-sur-Mer, flown by Air Vice Marshall Harry Broadhurst in his captured Fieseler Storch. He did a speech at the airfield, and then visited troops in the area by jeep. (wikipedia)
any help appreciated
