The main mission of the F13 was to blow up two wooden bridges, a pedestrian bridge that did not appear on the maps and later they would move to place explosives under the tracks of the great bridge in Carentan.

Wooden bridges led to the towns of Brevands and Le Pont, a few kilometers northeast of Carentan.

The F13s arrived at the bridges around three in the morning. They used mortar shells as explosives, placed the charges on the wooden supports of the two bridges. Later they moved to the bridge that was on the main road, when they arrived it was night and they placed the loads where they wanted, no one could see them.

They were fighting several days against the Germans to protect the bridge, the third day two P-51 Mustangs appeared, the second plane blew up the bridge.
