Re: Raid on Schweinfurt on February 24th, 1944
Hi Norbert.
Being very pedantic, 297 aircraft took off, 266 were dispatched, and 235 bombed Schweinfurt. 2 A/c bombed T/O's. Nearly 4,000,000 Leaflets were also dropped. Feel free to send me an email if you want the breakdown of aircraft operating, by Groups and Combat Wings, as I have the mission details of all the 1st Bomb. Division Units involved. Regards, Andy (BW)
