Details Ramrod 290. The bomber force in this operation consisted of Marauders attacking the Amsterdam-Selipol airfield. The Wing carried on as planned, but apart from some fairly accurate heavy flak from Amsterdam the operation was uneventful. No e/a were seen. The pilots report hits on airfield and fires in the N.E. part.
