Re: USAAF losses in June-August 1944
Hello,
Lancaster III ND840 (F/O G C Bucknell RAAF), was a No.97 Sqn a/c., not 93 Sqn. The Lightning ? From Chris Ward's 5 Group Bomber Command: An Operational History (p.93): The target for the Davey's crew's eleventh operation on the 6th (August 1944), was the storage site at Bois-de-Cassan. The Master Bomber for the occasion was the former 619 Squadron commanding officer, W/C Jeudwine, who favoured a P-38 Lightning as his mode of transport. Unfortunately, communications problems between him and the main force led to confusion, and half of the 200-strong force retained their bombs. The Davey crew were in LM650 KM-T, which took them to the target and back in five minutes short of four hours. Col.
