Re: 429 Squadron RCAF Halifax 5/6 March 1945
427 Squadron was in the process of converting to the Lancaster at this time. The last op flown by 427 Sq with a Hali was March 2/3,1945 on a mining sortie. LV-996 was transferred to 429 Sq and it flew two ops. The first to Cologne on March 1 and then the loss to Chemnitz on March 5/6,1945.
Hope this helps.
