The original website states that this mission to Custines & Pompey was flown on 10 September 1944. No documents for this mission have currently been found in the Mission Records !

However, by using the aircraft numbers, pilot names, and bombardier names from the taxi sheet on the original website; and by using crew loading lists from contemporary missions; I have attempted to find the probable crew members participating in this mission.

The following narrative for this mission is contained in the 391st Bomb Group History documents (REEL B0428 page 23): "A mission in direct support of the Ground forces under the command of Lt. General Patton was flown on September 10 in one of the opening rounds of the battle for the German frontier. The targets were two highway bridges over the Moselle River, one at Pompey and the other at Custines, both approximately five miles north of the French city of Nancy. Eighteen planes were dispatched for each of the two targets, and at Pompey seventy-two 1000-pound General Purpose bombs were dropped, two flights scoring good results with probable hits on the bridge and with strikes on the approach and west end of the bridge. One flight scored a 'poor', but the pattern of bombs struck a section of a railroad junction in the target area. At Custines, seventy-two more 1000-pounders were dropped, two flights scoring 'excellent' with strikes on the bridge, and one flight scoring a 'fair' with hits on the railway and probable hits on the highway in the target area. There were no losses, damage, or casualties on the mission."
