Re: Nov. 7th, 1942 Kiel bombing mission . . .

Hello Otto,

I had a quick look in Bomber Command War Diaries by Middlebrook and Everitt and they list the following for 7 November 1942.

6 Mosquitoes of 105 squadron made a low level attack on the 5,000 ton German ship Elsa Essberger in the mouth of the River Gironde.
In other operations, 9 Bostons, 6 Venturas and 5 Wellington aircraft attempted raids to many places in Germany, Belgium and Holland,
but most only achieved attacks on minor targets of opportunity.
1 Boston and 1 Ventura lost.

Not much help I'm afraid.
Regards,
Wayne.
