The light fighter concept : lightweight (wooden) airframe, lightweight engine, lightweight armament, light price... and lightweight results. - Caudron-Renault C 714.
In 1937, the Soviet leadership had great hopes for the Caudrons and even planned to mass-produce them. But their enthusiasm was short-lived, and by the summer of 1939, not much of it remained. The C.713 was tested in the USSR, but under a reduced program, since it became clear already after the first few flights that it was unsuitable as a fighter. Moscow aircraft factory No. 301 (a former furniture factory), which according to Soviet plans was initially supposed to produce the Caudrons, was instead assigned to design and build LaGG prototypes.
 
Sooo... Where was this German held territory at an airfield in England?
IMHO one should read the capture so:

Original: The ground crew load up a Blenheim bomber for a raid on German-held territory at an airfield somewhere in England, July 6, 1941.
Meaning: The ground crew load up a Blenheim bomber at an airfield somewhere in England, July 6, 1941, for a raid on German-held territory.

The German-held territory could be anywhere in Europe (not in England).

one of my Favorite odd weapons ow WWII, the Italian Motobamba FFF Torpedo. Could be dropped from Altitude and at cruising speed, Slowed by Parachute, ran an increasing spiral pattern for around 30 Minutes, then would free float as a mine for 10-12 hours before self destructing.
