Summary:
|
The 401st provided the Lead and Low Boxes of the 94th Combat Wing. The briefed target was completely obscured by clouds and, despite three runs over the target, was not bombed. The Lead Box then dropped on a target of opportunity, the railroad tracks at Bayon, with bomb bursts observed on the tracks. The Low Box dropped their bombs 12 miles southeast of Verdun. No enemy aircraft were encountered, and meager to moderate flak was encountered only at Rheims.
