1 August 1944 -- Mission #141 -- Target: Balbec

1 August 1944

Mission #141

Target: Balbec

Crews were briefed for a railroad bridge tactical target at Peronne, France which was changed because of target weather. Briefings were completed between 0615 and 0745 hours and take-offs finally began at 1200 for (34) aircraft, several delays being experienced. The mission was PFF led with all ships going over target but only one Squadron, the 578th, bombing. The 578th released (192) 1000# GPs on a Target of Opportunity, a railroad and road junction near Balbec. Again no fighters were encountered but flak caused damage to (5) group aircraft. Returning aircraft landed around 1815 hours.
