Re: 409th Bomb Group / June 24, 1944
Hello Leendert,
I also had some doubts about a mention of an airplane that made an emergency landing because of an engine failure - and then certainly later came back to its English air station. Indeed, the mission is led by Lt. David G. Davis (Pilot) and Lt. Eugene H. Salzman (Bomb/Navigator) team. Unfortunately the history of the 409th BG (...found through web archives) does not give many details about this mission, as well as the following July 17, when the group was again involved in a bombing of the same fuel storage and ammunition depot.
Best regards,
Frederic
