The route for this mission: Base to Southwold, then Ostend, Mannheim, Aschaffenberg, Frankfurt, Bingen, Koblenz, Bonn, Cologne, Dusseldorf, Brussels, Ostend, Southwold, and return to base.
The 2nd Air Division dispatched 362 a/c. The 392nd was tasked to fly its own personnel in 20 a/c and 200 passengers from the 491st BG in another 20 a/c.
At the briefing, pilots were told there be NO BUZZING and that Col. Cameron from the 44th BG was the observer. Pilots were warned that 240 B-24s were ahead of the 14th Combat Wing and that untold numbers of B17s were flying in the same area.
This mission was flown the day before V-E Day, so some 392nd BG crews included a gunner.
