Re: Hamburg raid 8 April 1942
Hello Andy,
I found some info in:
INTERCEPTION/TACTICS REPORT NO. 61/42.
NIGHT 8/9th APRIL 1942
4. WEATHER
HAMBURG. 7/10-9/10 convection cloud, tops to 12,000 ft. Isolated tops to 18,000 ft. with static. Visibility good.
Route to HAMBURG. 5/10-9/10 convection cloud, tops generally 8/10,000 ft. but isolated tops well above this level. One report of tops to 24,000 ft. Moderate clear ice in cloud. Good visibility.
….
12. APPRECIATION
…
2. Weather conditions en route were unfavourable, static and icing being experienced. Cloud over the target interfered with S/L operation, and flak opposition was not intense.
Regards
Peter
