Re: USAAF Bomb Data Report

I suspect the items relate to the number of bombs jettisoned (or lost) (probably item item 5?) and the number of bombs returned (item 6?).

They are accounting for all the 96 carried bombs:

74 dropped on target (item 1)
2 jettisoned off target or went down with missing plane(s)
20 returned to base

Do you have some other reports that would seem to verify this interpretation?
