Haddock Force
Haddock Force was the name given to a Royal Air Force group of bombers dispatched to airfields in southern France, with the mission of bombing northern Italian industrial sites following the Italian entry into the Second World War. When Italy declared war on 10 June, the plan was put into effect, but achieved little.
==Background==
Wireless decrypts by the Government Code and Cypher School at Bletchley Park gave the Anglo-French about a month's notice of an Italian declaration of war. The Battle of France was nearing its final phase when intelligence reports suggested that Italy was on the brink of entering the war on the side of her Axis partner, Germany. There were few resources available to Britain which could be used to support France against the Italians, with the exception of Royal Air Force (RAF) Bomber Command. The Supreme War Council resolved on 31 May that if war was declared, industrial targets and oil plants in the northern Italian cities of Turin and Genoa, were to be attacked as soon as possible. Armstrong Whitworth Whitley bombers could reach their targets from the Channel Islands, while the shorter-ranged Vickers Wellingtons would have to refuel in the south of France and the French Air Command made available the airfield outside Marseilles at Salon-de-Provence and another one nearby. The headquarters of 71 Wing was sent to the Marseilles area on 3 June to prepare reception and refuelling facilities for the British bombers, which were ready on the outbreak of war on 10 June.
