The railroad marshalling yards were assigned as primary with the 579th and Lieutenant Crowell leading. Briefings were completed at 0730 and 0900 hours for (32) crews. At 1200 a force of (32) began take-off with (31) going over and releasing (587) 250 and 500 pounders. Again target weather was poor and Group results could not be seen from the PFF release. Flak was meager and inaccurate and once more no fighters were encountered — another signal that the GAF was feeling the effects of Allied bombing. In the returning force, (2) ships were damaged but all landed safely about 1730 hours.
