Summary:
|
This was another mission to bomb railroad facilities used by the German Army to support its troops during the Battle of the Bulge. The 401st again formed the 94th Combat Wing "A" Group. This time solid undercast prevented visual sighting, and bombing was therefore conducted using the Gee-H (radio beam)technique. Because of the cloud cover, results could not be ascertained. Flak was light, and no enemy aircraft were sighted. Of some 2,000 fighters and bombers put up by the 8th Air Force, only six were lost, two of which went down as a result of a collision in the target area.
