bomb loads of RAF bombers FTR
Hello all,
Here a real challenge (at least to me  ): does someone know if there is a way to find details about the bomb loads of RAF bombers that didn't return in the UK?If the Squadron ORB pages reveal details at all about the bombs carried, these are always written down in the ORB after the raid. For the bombers that failed to return, this info remains blank. I have found Group Orders in which bomb loads were specified before the raid (were these orders always obeyed?) and I also have seen an Appendice in a Group ORB after the raid with such details. I would ver much like to know if for instance the missing ED347 of 9 Sqdn.RAF (lost 20th December 1942 near Den Hout/Holland) had a 4000 lbs Cookie on board or not. Who has met the same trouble or knows another source to find out? Any help is much appreciated! All the best, Marcel Hogenhuis / Venlo
