Bombing Akagi

11 Squadron's Blenheims attack Kido Butai

In April 1942 the Japanese Navy carrier task force moves into the Indian Ocean with devestating effect. The only British force to engage the Carrier group was 11 Squadron’s Blenheim Mk IVs in a daring raid.

In this week’s podcast I explain why the Japanese were attacking the Indian Ocean, how the Blenheims came to attack and the outcome of the raid.
