The 579th and 576th Squadrons shared lead tasks for this mission to France. Captain Good was the lead Bombardier. Briefings for (24) crews were held at 0900 and 0945 hours. The Field Order was received late which caused a rush in aircrew preparations, but Group aircraft commenced take-offs on schedule at 1110 hours. All (24) ships went over the target, dropping (288) 500# GPs with very good results. No flak or fighters were encountered and all aircraft returned safely around 1900.
