The target for this mission was the nearby airfield. General briefing for (31) crews was held at 0700 hours and, after a delay, all began take-off rolls starting at 1244 hours. A total of (668) 250 and 300# bombs were released in what the aircrews reported as a real ‘post-holing job’ on the target facilities. Visual conditions once again permitted excellent bombing on behalf of (2) squadrons going over. One squadron formation was cut out on the bomb run by the 44th Bomb Group, resulting in a poor release. All totaled, the Group had (64) percent of all weapons dropped impacting within 2000 feet of the target. No flak or fighters were encountered and all crews recovered safely at base around 1944 hours.
