Last Operation Information
Start Date | 23-04-1942 |
End Date | 24-04-1942 |
Takeoff Station | Bourn |
Day/Night Raid | Night (53% moon) |
Operation | Rostock. First of 4 such raids. 143 aircraft sent to bomb the Altstadt with incendiary devices (given their predominantly wooden construction) and a further 18 to bomb the Heinkel factory. Disappointing results despite good visibility- the Heinkel factory was not hit and most of the bomb load intended for the altstadt fell several miles away. |
Reason for Loss | Crashed at Konigshugel |
