Historically I didn't happen that often.
The only significant low level attack was on 18th August 1940 when nine Do17 of 9/KG76 crossed the channel at 50 feet and successfully attacked Kenley without interception whilst another nine low level Dornier hit Biggin Hill the same morning.

The losses were heavy with the low flying planes vulnerable to fighters and a number of the Dornier lost to PAC (rockets firing cables with parachutes attached) defending the airfield. The Luftwaffe abandoned the tactic, presumably because it was impossible to synchronize the low level attacks with high level attacks and fighter defenses.
