USAAF operations 6 October 1944

Unfortunately NARA is still in Corona-mode....the documents I requested will take a while to get to me.

Therefore: who can help me with information about USAAF Mission 667 on 6 October 1944 to Stettin/Stargard (1st BD), Hamburg/Wenzendorf (2nd BD) and Berlin/Spandau/Tegel (3rd BD)?

1 - Particularly I am looking for the targets in Berlin: Spandau (2 targets) and Tegel (1 target). Which were the CW's that attacked these targets? Which BG's were in the lead?

2 - What about the Fighter Escorts? According to Roger Freeman's War Diary the 2nd BG was escorted by 168 P-47, and the 1st and 3rd BD's by a total of 616 P-51. It seems to me that the Fighter Group assignment each to a BD, was not practiced on this mission? From 351 BG Group Mission, we know that they were escorted by 4 groups (of 67FW?). Apparently all P-47's groups available were concentrated on the 2nd BD (nearest target) and the rest of the fighters from 66 and 65 FW to escort the 3rd BD? Seems logical to me, but was it the case?

Who can help to shed light?
