| Day/Night raid | Night |
| Operation | Düsseldorf. 589 aircraft, 7 losses (3.1%). The local report is sparse, no doubt due to the sheer onslaught they had received in recent weeks. There was, however, extensive damage to both industrial and residential buildings. This was the first raid to include the G-H blind bombing system, who whilst acting as part of the main force attempted to bomb the Mannesmann tubular steel works in the city. Of the 38 aircraft so quipped, 5 returned early and two were Lost On 16 of the remaining aircraft the equipment failed to function correctly, leaving only 15 to bomb the factory. The local report does mention that 'several assembly halls were burnt out' so the experiment was a qualified success. |
| Reason for Loss | Presumed Lost off the Dutch coast |
