The Oslo Mosquito raid (25 September 1942) was a British air raid on Oslo, Norway, during the Second World War. The target of the raid was the ''Victoria Terrasse'' building, the headquarters of the Gestapo. It was intended to be a "morale booster" for the Norwegian people and was scheduled to coincide with a rally of Norwegian collaborators, led by Vidkun Quisling. ==Preparation== The operation was carried out by four de Havilland Mosquito aircraft of No. 105 Squadron RAF, led by Squadron Leader George Parry, flying with navigator Flying Officer "Robbie" Robson. The other three crews consisted of: * Flight Lieutenant Pete Rowland and Flying Officer Richard Reilly * Flying Officer Alec Bristow and Pilot Officer Bernard Marshall * Flight Sergeant Gordon Carter and Sergeant William Young.〔Bowman 1998, p. 13.〕 In order to shorten the mission distance, the four aircraft were flown to RAF Leuchars in Fife, Scotland, where they were refuelled and loaded with four delayed action bombs each. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Oslo Mosquito raid」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
