“In the night following this hot day, half an hour after midnight, the English broke across the front and dropped bombs on the Marckebeeke airfield. The report dictated by the cavalry captain the next morning was brief: “A number of headers were covered. The windows in the neighbourhood have been smashed. Nobody was injured.”
