Philippe,

Are you looking for all photo recce sorties over France on this date or can you narrow it down to a specific area?

Best Regards

Hi Philippe,

106 (PR) Wing undertook numerous sorties to France on 29 Jan 44 but I believe the one you are interested in is:

F/L D.G. Rochford and F/S J.C. Jack (Nav) of 540 Sqn, in Mosquito PR.IX LR413, took photos of Le Mans, Issoudun, Chateauroux and Poitiers.
