U.S. Marauders Blast Large Airdrome In German -- Bursts of smoke mount skyward from wrecked installations at the German-held Schiphol airdrome near Amsterdam, Holland, as B-26 Marauder bombers of the Ninth U.S. Army air force roar away from their targets to head for their bases in Great Britain. Although strongly defended by the Germans, the airdrome, one of the largest in Europe, has been heavily damaged in successive attacks by American bombers. May 31, 1944.
