Summary:
|
On this mission the 401st provided the three 12 ship squadrons comprising the 94th Combat Wing "A" Group. The weather over the Continent was very poor, resulting in the recall of the 3rd Air Division. The 1st Air Division was unable to bomb its primary target, Gelsenkirchen, and turned to its secondary, the railroad marshalling yards at Munster. The 401st, like other Groups, bombed by PFF (Radar), with unobserved results.
There was no enemy air opposition, and flak was described as "over, under or all round the formation", but a few accurate bursts caused damage to four 401st aircraft.
