The Halifax

This is the plane that was used to drop the team into Prague by parachute coming from Britain where the attack was planned. It was a Handly-Pane Halifax Mk.11.The Gestapo knew to look for parachuters after the tragedy because the spare grenade and faulty gun left behind had made British parts. This was one of the first leads in their investigation I'm told.

This is a document of the Halifax's flight from the british airport as it departed on it way to start the men's deadly mission.
