Re: 305th BG - June 8, 1944
The only book I have on the 305th (Brotherhood of Courage) is very sparse and I wish I had not bought it for silly money
For the 1st BD there were the following targets
1. La Frilliere (Bridge) - 72 a/c (6x12)
2. Orleans (Bridge) - 36 a/c (3x12)
3. Orleans (M/Y) - 108 a/c (9x12)
4. Rennes (Airfield) - 72 a/c (4x18)
5. Etampes (Railway) - 72 a/c (6x12)
6. Morigny/Champigny (Railway) - 36 a/c (3 x 12)
Known Group targets
1. La Frilliere - 381BG
2. and 3 Orleans - 303, 379, 384 BGs - numbers accounted for
4. Rennes - 92, 306BG - numbers accounted for
5. Etampes - 351, 457 BG - numbers accounted for
6. Morigny/Champigny - 91, 398 BG - numbers accounted for
The 401st BG mission was scrubbed, which, by a process of elimination, just leaves the 305th for the other Group on La Frilliere
