    I’ve read about it and iirc, it’s wasn’t even official mission. It was just pilots goofing off and dropping a training bomb, without command approval.

        More like they had access to training bombs and planes, and frequently flew over enemy territory, so they put those things together and got a mad prank out of it.

            And did their CO ever do anything that landed him in the history books besides yelling at them for this historical prank? You are welcome, sir.
