The assigned target was a bridge near this town in France, near Loire and southwest of Angers. At D001-0030 hours, (24) aircrews were given briefing and at 0350 take-offs commenced. Due to poor weather over the Continent, the mission was PFF ship led. The lead had difficulty in finding the target due to poor visibility and cloud which resulted in various T/Os being struck instead: a dam reservoir near Baulon; a German military camp near the marshalling yard at Montauban, position T800N-0158E, in Brittany and a road junction nearby. No fighters were encountered and flak was meager. A total of (88) 2000# bombs were released on these targets. All ships returned safely with (4) being battle damaged by enemy AA fire.
For the second mission this date, a bridge near this town was assigned the Group with briefings for (6) crews being conducted at 0400 hours. Take-off was made at 0545 with the formation being led by PFF. The 578th Squadron had Lieutenant Morton as Bombardier in the lead ship. A total of (48) 1000# bombs were dropped on the target through unundercast with results unobserved. No fighters or flak were encountered and all ships were back on the ground by 1050 hours.
