Last Operation Information
Start Date | 28-06-1943 |
End Date | 29-06-1943 |
Takeoff Station | Breighton |
Day/Night Raid | Night (12% moon) |
Operation | Cologne. 608 aircraft, 25 losses (4.1%). PFF went with a 'dual plan' because it was not certain whether there might be a break in the cloud. In fact it was cloud covered so sky-marking had to be used. Only 7 of the 12 Oboe equipped Mosquitoes reached the target and only 6 of these actually dropped markers. Despite this, the main force delivered Cologne's worst attack of the war with 43 industrial, 6 military and 6368 other buildings completely destroyed. The cathedral was also seriously damaged. 4377 deaths and some 230000 bombed out of their homes. |
Reason for Loss | Believed to have been shot down by a night-fighter and crashed at Valkenburg, ENE of Maastricht, Holland |
