Summary:
|
The 401st provided the three squadrons comprising the 94th Combat Wing "A" Group on this mission. Because of intense ground haze, all three squadrons began bombing runs using PFF (radar) techniques. However, near the target the haze cleared, and the lead bombardiers of the three squadrons were able to drop visually. While the Lead Squaron hit short and to the right of the MPI, the other two squadrons hit the assigned MPI with good results.
While flak over the target was not intense, it was fairly accurate, and nine of the Group's aircraft sustained minor damage. No injuries occurred, however.
