"In an afternoon operation when a closely escorted force of sixty-four Marauders attacked Schipol airfield, the Canadian wing gave one of the best performances in the history of the R.C.A.F. When the bombers were threatened by fifteen Messerschmitts on their way from the target, the Canadian Spitfires destroyed nine Germans in a dogfight."
