Summary:
|
This was a repeat of the previous day's mission, to interdict railroad facilities critical to the German army retreating before the Russian advance. On this mission, the 401st provided three squadrons making up the 94th Combat Wing "A" Group. Because of a complete undercast, bombing was conducted by PFF (radar) technique, with unobaserved results. There was no enemy air opposition, and no flak over the target. Meager and inaccurate flak was encountered en route at Frankfurt and Brux, but no 401st ship sustained battle damage.
