Re: Air route of USAAF Bomber "Operation Gomorrah"
Seeker -
This is from a Mission Report and Mission Route in Book: Shades of Kimbolton 379th BG. July 25th , 1943 Mission. 1st AD Groups formed up over The Wash in England. They flew NE to a Point over North Sea. Turned SE and passed just NE of Heligoland - coming under constant LW Fighter attacks. They crossed the German Coast at Cuxhaven and continued to a Point SW of Hamburg , Rosengarten. Turned NE and Bombed Hamburg. Lead Navigator noted Target obscured by Smoke and Bombed using Checkpoints. Formation proceeded NE and then turned NW , Bad Odesloe. They Crossed the Kiel Canal and over Welt , Eiderstedt turned West to a Point over North Sea , then SW to England. I used a New Map of Gemany to help pinpoint locations from Mission Map. Mike |
