An assignment to strike in close support of the American ground troops in the Eastern sector of the Normandy front was given to the Group of the morning of July 25. Thirty-six were dispatched at 1040 hrs to
La Chappelle en Jager, a German-defended area near St. Lo, and thirty-five completed the attack, one failing for mechanical reasons. Six hundred eighty-nine 250-pound fragmentation bombs and one leaflet bomb were dropped. The bombing was done by boxes of eighteen, the first box putting a majority of the bombs inside the target area while the second box bombed mainly outside the area, across a main roadway and in open fields. There were no losses, casualties, or battle damage to the formation.
