French bombers against Gibraltar

A Vichy French Air Force’s bomber crew boarding on a Glenn Martin 167F (nicknamed “Glenn” by the French aviators) of the Groupe de Bombardement (Bomber Group) GB I/22 based in Rabat, Morocco. On 24 September, 1940 in response to the British attack at Dakar, the “Glenns” of the GB I/22 carried out a reprisal raid on Gibraltar which not suffered heavy damages. Another raid planned for the next day was stopped by the Vichy authorities. Victor Sierra
