Background
***********
Operation Tungsten was one of a number of aerial attacks on the German battleship Tirpitz
while she was in Norwegian waters (the Altenfjord) by the Fleet Air Arm (the air units of the Royal Navy).
Tungsten was scheduled for April 1944. Tirpitz was two weeks into trials after the end of
repairs resulting from the British X-craft attacks in September 1943.
The attack was to be two waves of dive bombers (Fairey Barracudas) protected by
naval fighters and led by the Strike Leader Lt Cdr Roy Baker-Falkner DSC RN.
The first planes took off on the morning of 3 April[1][2]. The bombers and their escorts
headed for the target, others to patrol around the carriers in case of German attack.
The first wave attacked while some of the fighters strafed the decks of the Tirpitz to
suppress anti-aircraft fire. The bombers of the first wave were carrying general purpose
bombs, which would prove effective against the lightly armoured AA positions and their
crews, alongside heavier armour-piercing bombs. An hour later the second wave attacked.
Again fighters strafed the Tirpitz from low level. By 08:30 the attacking aircraft
had landed on their carriers and the task force was turning for home.
