The marshalling yards in the city were briefed for attack at 0430-0515 hours with (30) crews participating. At. 0725, all began launching with the 579th and Lieutenant Crowell in the lead. A force of (28) bombers went over target, (18) by PFF and the remaining (10) bombing visually with good results. A total of (244) mixed load of 500 and 1000# bombs were released. Fighters were not encountered but fairly accurate flak in the target area caused battle damage to (6) B-24s. All returned safely to base landing around 1330 hours. On another note about previously missing crews, Lieutenant Tom Gerbing, Co-Pilot on Lieutenant McCarthy’s crew from the 578th which was MIA on the 23 June mission to Laon/Athies airfield, returned to the unit.
