After late receipt of the Field Order which contained quite sketchy and somewhat inadequate target information, a general briefing of (30) aircrews was held at 0130 hours. The 579th and 576th were scheduled to lead with Captain Good and Lieutenant Hadeka up front as squadron Bombardiers. At 0500, all (30) aircraft took off and went over target, releasing (910) 100# and 500# GP bombs with excellent results. No fighter reaction was encountered, but flak was moderate and fairly accurate, inflicting damage to (9) Liberators with no personnel casualties. Aircraft landed at base around 1300 hours.
