| Operation | Essen. 1055 aircraft- a record and yet remarkably 5 Group was not called upon at all. This was the heaviest raid on Essen so far. 8 losses (0.76%). 4538 tons of bombs were dropped, most of which were high explosives since it was considered that there was little left to burn in the target area. 607 buildings were destroyed and 812 seriously damaged. 662 people were killed. |
| Reason for Loss | Thought to have collided with another aircraft over the North Sea. |
