On
18 August, when S/L Norsworthy's pilots made 65 sorties to harass the
retreating enemy, they fired over 23,000 rounds of 20-mm ammunition
and counted 51 vehicles destroyed in flames with 93 more smoking or
damaged.
"All one could see along the reads was a long continuous
blanket of smoke. The ground- crews reeking with sweat through the
long summer day set new records for refuelling and re-arming the
aircraft."
