Day/Night raid Night
Operation Hanover- the first of four large raids. 711 aircraft, 26 losses (3.7%). Five American B-17s also took part. Visibility was good but strong winds hampered the marking efforts and consequently the bombing by the main force. No local report is available but it is unlikely that significant damage was caused.
Reason for Loss Crashed at Neustadt am Rübenberge, Germany
