Takeoff Station Lindholme
Day/Night raid Night
Operation Rostock. First of 4 such raids. 143 aircraft sent to bomb the Altstadt with incendiary devices (given their predominantly wooden construction) and a further 18 to bomb the Heinkel factory. Disappointing results despite good visibility- the Heinkel factory was not hit and most of the bomb load intended for the altstadt fell several miles away.
Reason for Loss Shot down by a night-fighter and crashed at the mouth of the River Ems
