Great design of a bat with an outstetched wings in front of a moon. This was the final action of the Belgian Air Force during German invasion. It was the German main supply line into the Low Countries during early stages of the War. One of the pilots tried to crash his machine into the bridge but missed, so did all bombs as unit was never trained for the low-level bombing missions. One squadron, with incredibly brave crews was decimated in a raid against the German-held bridges at Veldwezelt and Vroenhoven. Equipped with absolete Fairey Battles and Foxes - unit took part in the tragic action around Maastricht (Netherlands) on May 11, 1940. At some point it was re-designated as a Long Range Reconnaissance/Bombing suadron but little is known when. Unit was quite active at the beginning of the War.
