Briefings were conducted for (27) aircrews between 0600-0630 hours and all began take-off commencing at 1000 hours. Each Squadron was assigned an aiming point with Lieutenants Hadecka, Jackson, Rappenport and Sands the lead Bombardiers. Poor target weather hampered bombing which resulted in only (7) ships dropping on their assigned target and the remaining returning to base with their 1000# GP bombs. Releasing aircraft placed their weapons in the target area which was obscured by approximately 8/10th undercast. No enemy aircraft were seen and though AA fire was considered meager, it was accurate enough to damage (11) returning airplanes. All landed safely around 1530 hours.
