2. Narrative.
   1.  Group & Wing Assembly - The assembly of the three groups and of the 94th “A” Combat Wing was carried out without difficulty at the briefed altitude of 14,000 feet (Lead Group) at the Kings Cliffe buncher beacon.
   2.  Route Over England – Departure from the assembly point was made one minute early. The briefed route was closely followed over England. Splasher #7 was reached one minute early.
   3.  Division Assembly – The Division Assembly Line was flown as briefed. Departure from the English coast was made on time at 18,000 feet. The 94th “A” Combat Wing was in its position as Lead Combat Wing of the First Division.
   4.  Flight to Target – The enemy coast was reached, after following the briefed route in crossing the channel, at 0954, the planned time. The altitude at that time was 21,500 feet, 500 feet below the briefed height. The briefed route was followed with only slight divergencies [sic] to 49°05’N-05°23’E [Just South of Verdun, France.]. From that point it was necessary to cut inside of the briefed route in order to gain time and arrive at the target as briefed. Shortly before reaching the IP, communication with the weather scouting force indicated that the primary target was overcast. It had been noted that the secondary target, Haguenau, France, was overcast when it was passed on the route into the target. A second report from the weather scouting force indicated that the primary target could be attacked visually. The formation continued to cut inside of the briefed course on the route to the briefed IP due to the fact that the interphone was temporarily out of commission. As a result the formation was able to reach the assigned primary target one minute late (1155). As the primary target was completely overcast, the Division Leader made the decision to attack the secondary target at Haguenau, France. This target was found to clear and the attack was made by individual groups using visual bombing methods.
   5.  Description of Bombing Run – Lead Box: The target was hard to pick up due to haze and cloud cover. The C-1 [Autopilot] was used from the IP [Initial Point of Bomb Run] except for large corrections made by the pilot manually to put the plane on course. The aiming point was discernible after one minute. Sixty seconds was spent in the sighting operation. The briefed aiming point was used. A normal turn was made at the initial point, but due to cloud cover the primary could not be bombed. The course was altered to bomb the secondary. The pattern was compact with the main concentration about 250’ short. However, the pattern completely covered the aiming point and large red flashes were very noticeable in hits on hangars.
      
       High Box: No difficulties were encountered on the bombing run. The C-1 pilot was used. The aiming point was identified 120 seconds before the release point. The briefed aiming point was used. The turn at the IP was normal. Results seemed good; the MPI was well hit.
      
       Low Box: Visibility was poor on the bombing run. The C-1 pilot was used. Haze made identification of the aiming point difficult. It was identified 40 seconds before the release. The turn at the IP was normal. The Lead Group’s bombs obscured the aiming point, but the results seemed to be good.
   6.  Flight From Target – The attack on the secondary target had carried the formation to the left of the briefed course. A course parallel to the briefed route was flown until a turn enabled the formation to make its course coincide with the planned one. The briefed route was followed to the enemy coast and departure made at the briefed point at 22,000 feet and nineteen minutes early (at 1348).  A normal let-down procedure was followed while over the channel and the formation returned to base without further incident. The English coast had been crossed at the briefed point and eighteen minutes early at 8,000 feet.
   7.  Fighter Support – As briefed.
   8.  Comments – No aircraft were lost on the mission of 14 August, 1944. No enemy aircraft were encountered. Meager to moderate flak was encountered at Saarbrucken and Stuttgart, and observed at Antwerp. Weather at the secondary target was 1/10 low cloud with visibility of 6 miles downward in haze.
   9.  Aircraft Not Attacking – There were no failures to attack. Three flying spares returned as planned.
   10.  PFF Aircraft – PFF aircraft 42-97701 and 42-97951 were used as navigational aids by the 351st Group. PFF Aircraft 42-97947 and 42-97651 were dispatched to the 401st and 457th Groups. All four aircraft attacked the secondary target.

1. Target was hard to pick up due to haze and cloud cover.
2. C-1 [Autopilot] was used from the Initial Point except for large corrections made by pilot manually to put plane on course.
3. Aiming Point was discernible after one minute. Sixty seconds was spent in sighting operations.
4. Briefed Aiming Point was used.
5. A normal turn was made at the Initial Point but due to cloud cover the primary could not be bombed. The course was altered to bomb the secondary.
6. The pattern was compact with the main concentration about 250’ short, however the pattern completely covered the Aiming Point and large red flashes very noticeable in hits on hangars.

1. The three boxes of this group bombed as a secondary target the airfield at Haguenau, France. Photo cover was complete for the lead and low boxes but the cameras did not show the bursts of the high box.
2. The bombs of the lead box fell in a heavy concentration at the NW corner of the A/D [Airdrome]. The first four hangars are obscured by bursts and a heavy concentration fell on the E-W runway. There is a direct hit on the No. 8 hangar, a hit on the No. 7 repair hangar, a hit on an unidentified “T” building, and a salvo of bombs fell between the No. 1 and No. 2 hangar. The pattern is 2,772 feet by 1,575 feet and the center of the pattern is 441 feet left of the briefed MPI [Mean Point of Impact].
3. The bombs of the low box fell partly into the smoke of the lead box but an approximate pattern can be plotted. The main concentration fell near the No. 3 and No. 4 hangar and hits can be seen on No. 6 hangar and No. 5 hangar. All hangars except 7, 8, 9 are covered by smoke. The pattern is 1,880 feet by 1,527 feet with the center of the pattern 470 feet short and left of the MPI.
4. The incendiary bombs of the high box fell into the smoke of the lead and low box and no bursts can be seen. Flashes seen in the smoke indicate that they fell into the target area.

1. No leaflets were carried by this Group.
2. The secondary target, Haguenau A/D, was attacked visually by this CBW with good results from the lead and low boxes. Results of the bombing of the high box are as yet undetermined. The main concentration of bombs has fallen into the building area in the NW part of the A/D and on the field and runway also in that section. 10/10 clouds over the primary prevented bombing of that target.
3. No enemy A/C were encountered and no claims are being submitted.
4. Meager to moderate inaccurate flak was encountered at Saarbrücken and Stuttgart, and observed at Antwerp.
5. 10/10 clouds prevailed in the area of the primary target. There were good visual conditions over the secondary except for a certain amount of ground haze.
6. In the vicinity of 48°40’N-08°20’E [8 miles SSE of Baden-Baden, Germany] a two to three mile lake is protected by a large number of barrage balloons, eleven of which were quite high and the remainder at a much lower altitude. The M/Y [Marshalling Yard] at Laon and Ghent were very active while the yards at Luxembourg were quite inactive. A convoy of approximately 35 trucks were seen headed south from Ulm at 1135. Planes were observed taking off from the Belval A/D a few miles west of Charleville.
7. Two PFF A/C were employed by this CBW for navigational aids. Fighter support was as briefed. None of our A/C is missing.
