An assignment to bomb German troops and equipment concentrated in the forest two and a half miles northwest of Ussy, France, was given to the group on the evening of July 7. Of the thirty-six planes, thirty-five attacked with ninety-six 500- pound General Purpose bombs and two hundred 100- pound Fragmentation bombs, one failing to release because of mechanical failure. Two flights bombed a crossroad, and three attacked a railway choke point, the last bombing a road junction when the primary target was obscured by clouds, haze and smoke. There was no photo coverage due to the clouds and lack of light, but the crews reported good to excellent results. Two planes were battle-damaged by flak but there were no casualties or losses.

Author's note: Lt. Erickson and Lt. McCarty didn't fly on this mission.
