Mission No. 133
6 Aug 1944
Station: 166
Target: RR Bridge at Courtalain, France
Thirty-six of the Group's planes attacked the railroad bridge at Courtalain, France, at twenty-two minutes past noon on the August 6, and left the span chopped up sufficiently that no traffic could pass. Two hundred eighty-eight 500-pound General Purpose bombs were dropped on the objective, the bombing conducted by flights. Three of the flights had excellent results, one "good", and the other "fair". Planes returned to base at 1417 hours without losses, casualties, or battle damage.
