NOBALL  


Artist Credit: Dux screen shot


In April of '44, in preparation for Operation:
Overlord, the Allies began a heavy strike
campaign to help pave the way and make it easier
to land on the beaches of Normandy. During this
time, the 8th and 9th Air Forces stationed in
Great Britain launched several hundred attacks
against V-bomb sites (NOBALL targets), airfields,
factories, and other strategic targets in Germany
and occupied Europe. These attacks, code-named
POINTBLANK, were made in an attempt to isolate
the battlefield and for the Luftwaffe to move
their fighters farther East as D-Day grew closer.
