RAF Swanton Morley
England
About
RAF Swanton Morley opened in Norfolk in 1940 as a No. 2 Group light-bomber station, flying Bristol Blenheims, Douglas Bostons and North American Mitchells with British, Polish, Dutch and Commonwealth squadrons. On 4 July 1942 American and British crews flew the first joint US–RAF bombing raid of the war from the field. Flying continued for decades after the war until the station passed to the Army in 1995 as Robertson Barracks, its listed watch office surviving.
