RAF Wellingtons over Ploesti, August 1944

The Danish P/O Borge Nielsen is awarded the DFC on 12 Feb 1945. From the citation it is clear, that the award is presented mainly for his actions during a raid on the Ploesti airfiels in August 1944.

From two sources (Girbig, 1980; Newby, 1991) that I have managed to get my hands upon, I can se, that the RAF carried out to raids on Ploesti during this month. As far as I remember not having my notes at present on the night of 7/8 August and on 19/20 August.

I am looking for sources that would provide more information on the RAF part of these missions. Could anyone point me in a direction?

I have found this reference that could include some information:

"United States. Air Force. The Air Battle of Ploesti: Written in the Skies Over Roumania by the U.S. Fifteenth Air Force and 205 Group (RAF) Between 5 April and 19 August 1944. 941st Eng Bn, 1945. 108 p."

but I am not able to locate it near me (Denmark).

TIA, Mikkel Plannthin
