1944

Až do poloviny roku byly hlavní náplní činnosti ofenzivní akce nad kontinentem, včetně doprovodu bombardérů, ale také nácvik přímé podpory pozemních jednotek. 1. dubna se přesouvá na "polní letiště" Deanland, kde se připravuje na "polní podmínky" bojů na kontinentě. V první den invaze (6. června) peruť provede 4 vzlety po 12 letadlech v délce cca 2,5 h. V dalších dnech provádí především útoky na pozemní cíle (včetně odpalovacích ramp V-1) a doprovody bombardérů. 11. června její piloti poprvé přistávají na letišti v osvobozené Francii a 3. srpna se na kontinent přesouvají nastálo. Mimo jiné mezi 19. a 22. srpnem podporuje útok 1. polské obrněná divize v oblasti Falaise (její boje občas podporuje až do konce války). S postupem spojeneckých vojsk končí rok 1944 na letišti St.Denijs-Westrem poblíž Ghentu.
