Description:... When Canadian troops and British Commandos made their now famous "reconnaissance in force" against the harbor town of Dieppe in August of 1942, they were supported and protected by the largest array of Royal Air Force aircraft -- over 3000 aircraft took part -- ever seen in WWII until that time.
