Operation Ramrod 16
Operations of RAF during World War
Ramrod 16 was an attempt by the Royal Air Force (RAF) to bomb the Koninklijke Hoogovens steelworks at IJmuiden in the Netherlands during the Second World War. After several recent abortive attacks a more elaborate plan was made for six Douglas Boston IIIA light bombers of 107 Squadron to attack again, with a Ramrod as a diversion. Ramrod 16 was to be flown by twelve Lockheed Ventura Mk II bombers of No.
