Summary:
|
The Group provided the 94th Combat Wing "C" unit, putting up three 12 ship squadrons. Once again heavy cloud cover necessitated bombing by PFF (Radar), with unobserved results. No enemy aircraft were encountered, and flak was meager, so no 401st aircraft were lost or suffered battle damage. Only 66 of the 1,225 bombers sent out over Germany received battle damage on this mission, and none were shot down. However, two B-17's of the 452nd Bomb Group collided in mid-air, killing both crews.
