Looking through events in history I searched the RAF bombing the Phillips radio plant in Eindhoven.
HOLY COW! What a wild ride!

When the military and the country behind them had motivation to kill the enemy and not appease them.
impressive !
Saw the headline and thought they bombed a Philips Petroleum plant in Iraq.
Lockheed Hudsons? It doesn’t look quite right, but it was the closest that I could come up with.
Damn, those young men had stones!
OK, I was concentrating on the pictures of the planes taking off. Definitely different from the Mosquitos which took part in the raid. Wonder why they cut in the pictures of the planes with the twin vertical stabilizers with the planes that actually took part. And the closeups of the ‘returning planes’ weren’t Mosquitos. No dorsal gunners on the 2 seater Mosquito. Disinformation?
I believe lockheed hudsons also took part in the raid. Maybe vega venturas as well. That would explain the dorsal turrest and the twin tails.

DeHaviland Mosquitos, weren’t they?
No appeasement, no warning, and no concern for environmental harm.
From www.aviation-history.com
The Camera planes and most of the returning planes were RAF Douglas A-20’s. They have dihedral Horizontal Stabilizers so they are easily identifiable.
OK, yes, the landing shots were A-20s. So Mosquitos were prepped, Hudsons took off, Mosquitos bombed, and A-20s landed.
And no concern as to collateral damage to the Dutch workers.
