On this date, the first of two missions was briefed between 0515 and 0615 hours for (23) aircrews. The Group was to be GH ship led and take-offs began at 0836 for all ships. Bombing on the mission was poor with (272) 500# GPs falling approximately 1000-2000 yards off the aiming point. No fighters were encountered and flak was light but (10) of the aircraft returned with battle damage. The mission terminated around 1300 hours.
The second mission briefings were held at 1414 hours for (18) crews with (17) taking off at 1625. The 576th led the Group with Lieutenant Robinson as Bombardier. A total of (15) ships dropped (180) 500# GPs in the target area with fair results, primarily due to haze conditions and an undercast which made visual aiming difficult. No enemy fighters were encountered but flak at the target was severe causing battle damage to (13) ships. All returned safely landing about 2310.
