Re: Missions Flown by the 456th BG?
The last combat loss in the group occurred on April 25, 1945, at Linz, Austria. The following day, while General of the Army Henry H. Arnold, commanding general of the USAAF, was visiting the base, the 456th flew its last mission of the war against a transportation depot at Tarvisio, Italy, and scored a bombing accuracy of 100%,
In February, 1945, the 456th began flying two missions per day, termed Red and Blue.
So safe to say that
Mission 247 - 25 April - Linz, Austria.
Mission 248 - 26 April - target - Tarvisio transportation depot.
