Today, 20:00 on BBC Two (except Northern Ireland (Analogue), Wales (Analogue))

---

Actor and aviator Martin Shaw takes to the skies to rediscover one of the most audacious and daring raids of World War Two.

---

On the morning of 18 February 1944, a squadron of RAF Mosquito bombers, flying as low as three metres over occupied France, demolished the walls of Amiens Jail in what became known as Operation Jericho. The reasons behind the controversial raid remain a mystery to this day.

---

This dramatic documentary investigates the missing pieces of the story with interviews from survivors and aircrew and tries to find out why the raid was really ordered and by who.

NOUVEL ALBUM !
Scénario : J.Aiffvé / Dessin : Yves PLATEAU
Le Crépuscule des Guerriers est l'histoire de deux familles. Deux destinées qui se croisent dans la haine avant des retrouvailles apportant l'espoir. Le fil conducteur reste un mystérieux vieil homme… Tout commence en 1942, par la rencontre, en Libye, de deux pilotes. L'un est français, engagé dans les Forces Aériennes de la France Libre ; le second est polonais, venu en soutien aux puissances engagées sur ce théâtre d'opérations.

Aircraft preservation : Fairey Barracuda : The jigsaw bomber: Aircraft enthusiasts rebuilding 'extinct' WWII plane from decades worth of scrap

The jigsaw bomber: Aircraft enthusiasts rebuilding 'extinct' WWII plane from decades worth of scrap metal

---

More than 2,500 Fairey Barracudas were built during the Forties.

---

The torpedo bomber won some of the most pivotal victories of the Second World War, including the crippling of the Tirpitz, the Nazis' most fearsome battleship.

---

However, despite the planes' loyal and honourable service, no complete version has been preserved after they were all shot down, scrapped or crashed.

---

But now British aviation enthusiasts are ready to bring the extinct WWII bomber back from the grave, by rebuilding it from salvaged pieces of scrap.
