16 March 1944 -- Mission #52 -- Target: Friedrichshafen

16 March 1944

Mission #52

Target: Friedrichshafen

This first mission to Friedrichshafen and the Dornier Aircraft Assembly plant on Lake Constance’s north shore was to be an easy one compared to the most disastrous one to the same target area on the very next mission. General briefing was held between 0345-0600 hours and at 0725 the first of (29) aircrews took off. All aircraft returned between 1600-1730 hours to report lO/lOths clouds over the primary target with the PFF lead having misjudged the secondary target as well. No bombs were released. Fortunately, over such a long route no enemy aircraft were seen or encountered. Flak did cause some minor damage to (4) of the aircraft but all returned safely without loss or casualties.
