** - Operation "Circus"(© Motorhead):
After completion of the Battle of Britain, in late 1940, it came a relative lull in the fighting over the English Channel. Luftwaffe stopped the massive raids on Britain and mostly limited to night bombing of cities, many units were transferred to other theaters. Offensive initiative passed to the British, and in front of the Royal Air Force raised the question of the further strategy of the air war against Germany. Fighter Command had decided to move the fighting into the territory occupied by the enemy. To this end, in early 1941, has developed several types of air operations: «Circus», «Rodeo», «Roadstead», «Rhubarb» etc, providing offensive over France. Since the beginning of 1941 to mid-1943, the main type of operation is the "Circus". All the "circus" were sequentially numbered, "Circus» No. 1 was held January 10, 1941, his goal became ammunition depots have Forey de Gine, south of Calais.
Plan of Operation "Circus" was simple: a small group of bombers (6-12 "Blenheims") directed to the bombing of the object in France. The aim was usually the ammunition depot, airport, port or train station. Bombers got a very strong fighter cover: 10-15 squadrons "Spitfire" accompanied them on the route of flight. Expect cause serious damage to ground targets is not accounted for, but the Luftwaffe could not ignore such raids, and were forced to engage in battle. The emergence of FW-190 and new modifications Me-109 led to the fact that the British suffered heavy losses during the "Circus". Often, the Royal Air Force lost more planes than he himself managed to destroy, but until 1943 "Circus" performed very intensively.
*** - Operation "Rhubarb": no description on Manual.
