On the 28th and 29th, weather forced a stand down before a mission could be flown on this day to a buzz-bomb launching site. Briefings were held at 0600 hours for (11) aircrews for the GH led mission. At 0843 in a hard rain storm the Group’s aircraft began take-offs. All (11) went over the primary carrying (240) 250# weapons but a malfunction in the GH ship caused all ships to fly over without releasing. There were no fighters but flak was moderate and accurate causing damage to (6) ships. All returned by 1410 hours.
