Operation Chowhound (May 18, 1945) was a U.S. Eighth Air Force mission that dropped over 4,000 tons of food to starving Dutch civilians, primarily using B-17 Flying Fortresses from the 3rd Air Division, along with units from the 1st and 2nd Air Divisions. Major units included the 95th, 390th, 100th, 385th, 493rd, and 388th Bomb Groups, flying low-level supply drops.

Operation Manna was the UK operation to support the same mission.

'MONUMENT FOR THE FOOD DROPS 1945

OPERATION MANNA/CHOWOUND

IT WAS MORE THAN FOOD. FOR FIVE YEARS WE DIED AND
SOWN DEPOIT AND IN THE LAST WEEK THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE FROM THE
DEAD SAVED (QUOTE FROM ONE OF THE PILOTS)

FROM APRIL 29 TO MAY 8, 1945, IN 10 PLACES IN THE NETHERLANDS
11,000 TONS OF FOOD PACKAGES THROWN AWAY. FROM ENGLAND
MORE THAN 5300 FLIGHTS WERE CARRIED OUT BY BRITISH AND
AMERICAN BOMBERS. WHERE NEW TERBREGGE IS NOW,
MORE THAN 3600 TONS WERE DISCARDED IN 1945.

THE ARTWORK IN THE PAVILION OBSERVATORY NIEUW TERBREGGE
DEPICTS THE STACKING OF THE FOOD PACKAGES IN THE BELLY OF
THE PLANE.
IT IS A TRIBUTE TO THE PEOPLE WHO STILL HAD THE HUNGRY POPULATION IN THE WESTERN NETHERLANDS DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR
BROUGHT FOOD.

OPERATION MANNA / CHOWOUND SOUNDED FOR THE ROTTERDAM
POPULATION IN THE END OF THE WAR.'
