Last Operation Information
Start Date | 12-05-1943 |
End Date | 13-05-1943 |
Takeoff Station | Chedburgh |
Day/Night Raid | Night (56% moon) |
Operation | Duisburg. 572 aircraft, 34 losses (5.9%). Near-perfect PFF marking lead to highly concentrated bombing and a significant improvement on the three preceding recent raids on Duisburg. The centre and port areas of the city were badly damaged, including four of the August Thyssen steel plants. Such was the success of this raid that no further raids were planned on Duisburg for some time. |
Reason for Loss | Crashed at Duisburg-Ruhrort, Germany |
