| Operation | Operation Ramrod 16- to attack a power station on the northern outskirts of Amsterdam. An exceptional number of experienced fighter pilots were present at Schipol airfield for a conference and they were scrambled following the earlier Spitfire sweep of the area. Nine of the aircraft were shot down, leaving a sole Ventura to press on and bomb the target (since one had turned back early). The last one was then shot down, meaning a loss rate of 90.9%- the highest of the war. S/L Trent, the pilot of the Ventura that pressed on, was awarded a VC for his bravery. |
| Reason for Loss | Shot down in the NW suburbs of Amsterdam |
