Re: 36th Fighter Group - June 29, 1944
Frederic,
I have found only one mission flown on 29 June by the 36 Fighter Group. I will condense the information and then give specifics regarding Vierzonville. 32 P-47's (8 of the 22 Ftr Sqn, 12 each from 23 and 53 Ftr Sqns, took off at 0652 and made landfall near Fecamp at 0733. "C" section was the 53 Ftr Sqn and quoting from their mission summary, "53 FS D/B yards at Vierzonville. Three good hits were observed. The station house at Vierzonville was strafed from 400 feet and left smoking. One locomotive at Vierzonville, two at Romorantin, and one at Fresly were strafed by one flight of "c" Squadron with excellent results.
The group later crossed out at Fecamp around 0940 and last plane was down at 1009. I will continue to search for a possible second mission for this date. Hope this helps.
Kent
