MISSIOU SUIIUI Y REPORT: (Cl . T)

3. c . Route ..2:!!!: England:

As brief' d . eather A/C recomr.~ended po nt A at 2, 000' above briefed but thia altitude had been gained in assembly already . 94th "i" and 94th "C" funnel d in behind 94th "A" and a good in formation was obtained. the 94th "A", "B 11 and "O" arrived at control point I on t~e and f'o ed t o the left of' and abreast of' 1st B and C gr oupa who were 3 minutes late a t control point *I ·

4. Attack:

a . Flight to Target:

The 94th CBW stayed on the left of the column the entire route ae 1st C~ was late. o prop wash was encountered and route was flown a br iefed to CP#2 . Clouds were over channel and target but a 16, 000 1 penetration as an effective altitude. Let down waa de prior to CP H2 on Buckeye

recommendation. ~rget weather indicat d a 11, 000 ' bomb r un to be necessary so a let down was egun to 11, 000' in Hano r area so navig tor could obtain win~ . Group overshot turn at turn before IP 10 m.ilea and could not get ba.ok on c~1rs as 94th "B" and 'C" were bombing another target between our posltion an our briefed course. Group went in East of briefed course but seather s clear and target was pick d up and bombed effectively with 36 A/C.

b . Dombing ~:

In trying to avoid so e flak areas we got a little off course and isaed the IP by about 8 to 10 miles . ~e unoovered,

de the turn, and got on a good heading for the target . e were£irst in. The bo' hardier picked up the target, synchronised on the assigned I and aalvoed his bo bs with excellent re­sults. All other ships aalvoed on him. The AFC8 worked okay.

e unocvered at the IP to make individual squadron visual runs . There were no clouds in the sky but haze reatri cted visibility a ewhat . The b bardier had drift and the tangent preset f!ui te accur tely. As we neared the release point the bombardier saw that the lead sqUfidron hit the -I squarely •• he changed his a i ing point to a point outside of the lead's s oke and. dawn the tracks a little. All ships sal voed . !he AFCE was okay. Results were excellent .

e unoover d at tl IP to nake an individual s uadron run, visually. '1'h re were no clouds, but it was quite hazy. The bo hardier used a large building short and to the right of the assigned aiming point to synchronise on because the ~loke from the lead squadron obscured the assigned ai ing point. He then moved the eros -hairs over to the a signed MPI but evidentl y not quite far eno gh for -+-he bo bs hit to the right and short of the a a signed I. All ship a sal voed . The AFU.c; was okay •
