Re: Which Allied unit made the attack?
Not that I can add much but here is what I have for this particular op.
Eighth A.F. - 240 Fortresses and 55 Liberators were despatched to attack two airfrields and a Noball target in France. As a result of these operations 1 Fortress is missing due to flake. The enemy opposition was confined to some 47 T. and S.E. fighters.
Target: Lyon/Bron A/F - 114 Forts - 277.5 Tons G.P. - Results, very good.
Target: Siracourt - 52 Libs - 203 Tons G.P.
Target: Cleromont-Ferpand/Aulnat A/F - 118 Forts - 294.5 Tons G.P. - Results, good.
A lot happend on this date...
