Mission #191

Target: Hamburg

A take-off of 0905 hours was made, but again weather over target as well as enroute was poor. A total of (21) ships released (460 250# bombs in the target area by PFF means with results not observed. Nine aircraft of on squadron did not drop because the smoke of the lead ship’s release could not be seen. No fighter were engaged and flak was meager.
