USAAF Bomb Data Report
Hi, my name is Alan.
I'm researching USAAF Missions 451 & 452, 4th July 1944. Can anyone explain what the following numbered items refer to in the Bomb Data Report copied below from 78th Fighter Group operation report.... Bomb data: 1. 74 x 260lb fragmentation bombs, instantaneous fusing. 2. Dive bombed, 60-degree dive, beginning 9,000ft and releasing at 3,500ft. 3. Rail road transport Nevers, Cercy La Tour. 4. Good. 5. 2 x 260lb fragmentation bombs. 6. 20 x 260lb fragmentation bombs. 1. 74 bombs dropped from 96 carried (48 P-47s with 2 x 260lb bombs each) 5. 2 x 260lb bombs ? 6. 20 x 260lb bombs ? 1. appears self explanatory but not sure what items 5 & 6 mean. Anyone explain please? Alan
