It was also one of the targets of Operation Aphrodite, the failed plan to pack B-17s with explosives and crash them into targets. Of the 14 missions attempted, 0 succeeded, but not only did 0 succeed but almost all of them failed spectacularly, including the mission that killed Joseph P. Kennedy Jr., brother of John F. Kennedy, when the B-17 drone piloted by Kennedy prematurely exploded over England, far from it’s intended target (I say drone because the plan was to pilot the B-17, packed with explosives, to the target and then kinda point it in the right direction then bail out and hope it hits the target). Needless to say a big problem with the plan is it relied on there being weak air defences, and that the payload wouldn’t detonate prematurely, which it often did.
