| adam_text | Operation
Torch
November/December
1942
The Anglo-American invasion of
Vichy French North Africa
Operation Torch was the code name given to the first
Anglo-American amphibious operation of World War Two. It began on
8
November
1942
and was the invasion of Vichy French controlled
Morocco and Algeria. Over
400
ships and
70,000
men were involved
with overall command being the responsibility of American Lt Gen
Dwight
D
Eisenhower.
Air cover for the allied ground forces, was provided solely by aircraft
flown from Royal Navy and US Navy aircraft carriers. The RN s Fleet
Carriers
HMS
Victorious,
HMS
Formidable and
HMS
Furious and the
escort carriers
HMS
Biter,
HMS
Dasher,
HMS
Argus and
HMS
Avenger,
which had every current operational Fleet Air Arm aircraft type
embarked from the relatively newly introduced Seafires to Sea
Hurricanes, Fulmars, Martlets, Albacores and Swordfish, plus Walrus
from the Catapult Flights of battleships and cruisers.
The US Navy carriers included the Fleet Carrier USS Ranger and the
escort carriers USS Santee, USS Suwannee and USS Sanamon, plus USS
Chenango which was carrying P-40F Warhawks of the USAAF s 33rd
Fighter Group. US Navy aircraft involved were F4F Wildcats, TBF
Avengers and
SBD
Dauntlesses from the carriers with Curtiss
SOC
Seagulls and Vought OS2U Kingfishers from the battleships and cruisers.
The North Front airfield at Gibraltar was also packed with aircraft to
be flown into the newly liberated airfields, with over thirty squadrons
of RAF and USAAF fighters amongst them. The USAAF s Twelfth Air
Force which was created in the summer of
1942,
specifically to be
involved in the invasion was a composite organisation, with several
units transferred from the Eighth Air Force based in the UK, containing
both strategic Heavy Bombardment Groups, tactical Light and
Medium Bombardment Groups and Fighter Groups.
Facing this force was the Vichy French
Armée de l Air de Vichy and
AéroNavale,
with almost
500
aircraft including the Dewoitine D.520s,
Curtiss Hawk 75s, Douglas DB-7s, Loire
et
Olivier LeO 451s, Bloch
174s and
Potez
63.11s, plus a range of fighter/fighter-bomber, dive-
bomber, multi-engined bomber and transport aircraft from dozens of
Luftwaffe and
Regia Aeronautica
units that were urgently sent to help.
With the gaudy red and yellow Vichy French identification stripes
and Torch Star markings, the aircraft involved were not only an
eclectic mix of types, but a very colourful one too!
