End Date 13-05-1943
Takeoff Station Middleton St. George
Day/Night raid Night
Operation Duisburg. 572 aircraft, 34 losses (5.9%). Near-perfect PFF marking lead to highly concentrated bombing and a significant improvement on the three preceding recent raids on Duisburg. The centre and port areas of the city were badly damaged, including four of the August Thyssen steel plants. Such was the success of this raid that no further raids were planned on Duisburg for some time.
Reason for Loss Hit by flak at 20000' after leaving the target area. Partially abandoned and crashed at Bedburg-Hau
