A German fuel dump in the Foret de Conches was the target assigned to the Group on the evening of July 23. Thirty-four planes were dispatched at 1715 hours, and thirty-one of these dropped eight 500-pound and eight hundred sixty 100-pound General Purpose bombs and one leaflet bomb on the target. The objective was completely covered by cloud and was located by the Pathfinder, blind bombing technique. One mechanical and two personnel failures caused three of the planes to return to base with their bombs, but there were no losses, casualties, or battle damage on the mission.
