Takeoff Station | Full Sutton |
Day/Night Raid | Night (30% moon) |
Operation | Braunschweig. 379 aircraft, 27 losses (7.1%). This was an experimental raid with no PFF marking to determine how accurate an H2S only raid could be. The raid was not a success and bombing was very scattered. The local report classifies it as a heavy raid nonetheless. |
