Summary
Good shots of a low level raid on the German held Philips Valve factory in Holland by US built Venturas, Bostons and Mosquitos. They are seen taking off and air to air shots as they skim the waves across the Channel and Dutch countryside on their way to the factory. Still and movie shots of the bombed and smashed factory after the raid. On return to their home base many damaged planes are seen, a result of the strong defence put up by the German guns.
