Operation Siracourt- to attack a flying bomb site. 305 aircraft to attack two V-bomb targets. Partial cloud cover over both targets hampered bombing to some extent, with some bombs being dropped accurately and some being somewhat scattered.
Reason for Loss Hit by flak on the approach to the aiming point while at 10000' and partially abandoned. Crashed at St Pol-sur-Ternoise in the Pas-de-Calais, France
