Mission No. 96
14 Jun 1944
Station: 166
Target: RR Junctn/Sidngs at Gallardon's Pont
Target: Railroad Junction and Sidings at Gallardon's, France. This mission called for thirty-six aircraft, and the enemy's communication points felt the impact of one hundred forty-two 500 pound and one hundred sixty-eight 250- pound General Purpose bombs. Bombing was by flights of six and of these two had excellent results, two good, one fair. One failed to attack the target when the lead bombardier failed to identify the target in time for the run. Bombing was done at 11,000 feet, and one aircraft was battle-damaged from flak. There were no losses or casualties.
