| Day/Night raid | Night |
| Operation | Berlin. 170 aircraft, 22 lost (11.8%). The second attack on Berlin in as many nights. Gee and Oboe could not be used for target markers since Berlin was out of their range of operation. PFF failed to mark the centre of the city, resulting in most of the bombing taking place in the southern suburbs. A BMW aircraft factory was hit at Spandau but only slightly damaged. The Berlin report classified not one building as being destroyed or seriously damaged. The heavy losses of this raid were due in part to using exactly the same route as the previous evening, making it easy for German fighters to find the stream. Richard Dimbleby was aboard a 106 Sqn Lancaster, flown by W/C Guy Gibson. |
| Reason for Loss | Crashed into the sea off the Danish coast |
