Operational Narrative – 94th “C” CBW:

1. Date of Mission - 27 February, 1945.
   1. Target Attacked:  The secondary target at Leipzig, Germany, was attacked by PFF methods.
   2. Force: 94th “B” Group. Thirty aircraft, including four PFF Ships, were dispatched. The 401st Group supplied nine aircraft and crews, six of which attacked, and three, scheduled as flying spares, returned as planned.
   3. Position: The 94th “B” Group flew in its briefed position as the eighth group in the Division Formation.
   4. Lead Teams

2. Narrative.
   1.  Squadron and Group Assembly: The assembly was carried out over the Kings Cliffe buncher at an altitude of 9,500 feet, 2,000 feet over the briefed height. The weather ship had recommended 8,500 feet for the assembly altitude but the Group Leader found that the Low Squadron would encounter difficulty with clouds at that altitude and so moved it up to 9,500 feet.
   2.  Route Over England: Departure from the assembly point was made 30 seconds late (1048½). The briefed route was followed with little divergency and no difficulty was encountered in getting behind the 94th “A” Group. Felixstowe, the briefed departure point from the English coast, was reached at the briefed altitude of 11,500 feet 1½ minutes late (1127½).
   3.  Division Assembly Line: The Division Column was followed in crossing the channel. As the departure from the coast was made, the 379th Group swung ahead of the 94th “B” and got into the Division Column behind the 94th “A” Group. At mid-channel, the 379th Group pulled out of the Division Column on one side and the 94th “A” pulled out on the other. The 379th Group then took up its proper position ahead of the 94th “A” in the Formation. This put the 94th “B” in its briefed position as the eighth group in the Division Formation.
   4.  Flight to Target: The Belgian coast was crossed to the right of the briefed point at the briefed altitude of 11,500 feet. Variances from the briefed route, which were slight, were necessary in order to stay in the Division Column. Before reaching the IP [Initial Point of Bomb Run], the 94th “B” flew inside of the briefed route in order to decrease the interval between itself and the 94th “A”. The IP used was slightly to the south of the briefed point. It was reached at the briefed altitude of 26,500 feet.
   5.  Description of Bombing Run: The secondary target was attacked at Leipzig, Germany. Bombing was done in group formation, all aircraft dropping on the lead ship. The briefed turn was not made at the IP. The target was completely overcast. No interference was encountered on the bomb run. The C-1 Pilot [Autopilot] functioned satisfactorily.
   6.  Flight From Target: After bombing, the 94th “B” followed the Division Column on the withdrawal. The sharp turn to the left was not made, as the preceding groups were cutting it short. The formation was inside of the briefed turn after the target, but soon contacted it by following the preceding groups. The 94th “B” flew to the right of the Division Column and of the briefed course in the area of Brussels. The intervals between groups at that point was small and hindered the let-down procedure. The 94th “B” let-down to the right of the Division Column and departed from the Belgian coast left of the briefed point at an altitude of 10,000 feet. The formation gradually closed in to the briefed route on the flight across the channel and crossed the English coast at the briefed point, Felixstowe, at an altitude of 10,000 feet. The formation followed the briefed route to base, which was reached at an altitude of 2,000 feet and 23 minutes early (1803). The High and Low Squadrons went to their respective stand-off areas before landing. A normal let down procedure had been followed.
   7.  Fighter Support: Very good. Appeared as briefed.
   8.  Comments: No aircraft were lost. Flak at the target was meager and inaccurate. Ten-tenths clouds prevailed en route and over the target area. The Weather Scouting Force was contacted and relayed a correct report of the weather conditions at the target.
      
      The 401st Group furnished the 94th “B” with nine aircraft and crews. Six were scheduled to fly in the High Squadron, while three were dispatched as flying spares. One of the six aircraft attacked with the 94th “A”, while the other five remained in formation with the 94th “B”. The three flying spares returned as planned.
   9.  Aircraft Not Attacking: Nil.

Narrative Teletype Report:

1. No leaflets were carried on today's mission.
2. The three squadrons of this group formed the 94th “B” CBW and bombed in group formation by PFF methods our Secondary target, the railway M/Y [Marshalling Yard] at Leipzig, Germany. Continuous 10/10 clouds prevented any chance of photo coverage. Mickey Operators report that the city stood out as briefed on their scope returns and they estimate bomb impact to be within the target area.
3. No E/A [Enemy Aircraft] were encountered and no claims [of enemy aircraft being shot down] are being submitted.
4. The only flak throughout the mission was in the target area, where it was meager, about 8,000 feet low and to the south of our formation.
5. 10/10 clouds prevailed en route and over the target area.
6. There are no observations of military importance to report.
7. The PFF equipment employed in the lead A/C [Aircraft] of the three squadrons worked well, while the deputy lead of the lead squadron went out before the target. Fighter support was very good and appeared as briefed. The Scouting Force was contacted and radioed a correct report of weather conditions in the target area. The B-24 aiding in the special battery fire control mission was observed by this group but weather conditions prevented any opportunity of viewing front-line flak installations. None of our A/C are missing.
