This was another mission in support of Allied ground forces fighting the Battle of the Bulge; the target was the railroad marshalling yards at Bingen. The Group put up three squadrons making up the 94th Combat Wing "A" Group. Bombing was visual, and the High Squadron placed 98% of its bombs within 1,000 feet of the MPI. However, the Lead and Low Squadrons missed the MPI by 2,000 and 4,000 feet, respectively. No enemy aircraft were sighted, and the flak was described as "meager to moderate". However, 27 of the 401st aircraft received battle damage, one of which was major.
