Units involved in 1,000 Bomber Raid on 30/31 May 1942
Does anyone have a list of the units involved in the first 1,000 bomber raid on Cologne?
I know that Sqns from 1,3,4, and 5 Bomber Groups were involved but which Sqns from Coastal Command and OTUs etc were on the mission. I think 2 Group was involved in attacks on the night fighter bases but which ones? |

No Coastal Command units on the first 1,000 plane raid. Get a copy of "The Thousand Plan" by Ralph Baker, it's a good read of the entire raid.
The Bomber Diaries has the following: 91 (O.T.U.)-236 Wellingtons, 21 Whitleys 92 (O.T.U.) - 63 Wellingtons, 45 Hampdens Flying Training Command - 4 Wellingtons |
