19 October 1944

Mission #187

Target: Mainz

The 577th was assigned lead on this raid with Lieutenant Kelly as Bombardier. The belated Field Order was received in time to complete briefings for (30) crews between 0330 and 0400 hours. At 0710 hours, all commenced take-off with (30) going over the marshalling yards primary employing PFF because of 10/10th clouds. There were no fighters but flak was moderate and accurate as the Group dropped (506) 250 and 500# bombs in the target complex. Of the returning ships, (10) had picked up extensive flak damage. All landed safely about 1345.
