The three squadrons of the 401st made up the 94th Combat Wing "A" Group on this mission. Bombing, which was done visually, was described as "fair to excellent". The High Squadron put 98 per cent of its bombs within 1,000 feet of the aiming point. German jet aircraft were seen in the area but did not attack the Group. Flak was described as "moderate" but tracked the formation over the target, inflicting major damage on one 401st ship and minor damage to seven others. There were no causalties, and all ships returned safely.
