Operation Manna

Painting by John Rutherford.  Bomber Command Museum of Canada.  Canadian Military Journal, Winter 2011.
A wonderful piece of history in which the British arranged to drop food supplies from Lancasters in April and May 1945 to starving Dutch people in territory still occupied by the Germans.  See the Wikipedia article.
