Luxembourg The Netherlands Belgium France Britain 1941–1943 1944–1945 Germany Strategic campaigns Project Danny was a World War II plan for United States Marine Corps F4U Corsair fighter aircraft to attack German V-1 flying bomb launch sites in northern France.
Although the squadrons had been trained at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point and were loading onto their escort carriers for the trip to the North Atlantic, opposition from General Marshall meant that the operation was canceled before departing for the European Theater.
In July 1944 after the V-1 "Robot Blitz" had begun on 13 June, Commander Thomas Hinman Moorer of the Naval Air Atlantic Staff (NavAirLant) provided a Pentagon briefing on a June 1944 plan for F4U squadrons of Marine Air Group 51 (MAG-51) (including VMF-511, VMF-512, VMF-513 and VMF-514) to attack V-1 launch sites from escort carriers in the North Sea[2] with Tiny Tim rockets.
The Tiny Tim was a rocket-powered adaption of a 500 lb (230 kg) bomb - each aircraft carrying a single rocket.
"[2]: a Had the operation proceeded, MAG-51 would have been the second Marine Corsair squadrons to deploy from aircraft carriers,[2] the first being at the Bombing of Rabaul in November 1943.
