| Operation | Frankfurt. 409 aircraft including three B-17s. 11 losses, including one B-17 (2.5%). This was the last raid where American aircraft were involved.

Tragically, an orphanage housed in a former Jewish hospital suffered a direct hit resulting in the death of 90 children, 14 nuns and some other members of staff |
| Reason for Loss | Crashed into the English Channel |
