Summary:
|
Briefing took place at 0100 hours, which made for a very short night! Taxi and takeoff took place in the dark because of the power failure.
The Group flew as the High Box of the 94th Combat Wing. When the formation reached the target it was found to be completely covered by clouds and, as the Standard Operating Procedure (S.O.P.) for operations over France stated that the target must be positively identified before being bombed, the Group brought its bombs back to Deenethorpe. Meager but accurate flak was encountered, but no Group aircraft were lost.
