6 August 1944: On the 6th, Brandenburg, Germany (a double
building in target area) was attacked by bombers from this field.
However, for that day, this squadron was stood down, this being
the policy of the group to “stand down” one squadron each
mission. The one stood down is identified as a “spare” and does
not send any ships unless there is a need to complete a
formation. On this mission, one of our ships took part: Ship
#7913, Lt. Donohue and crew. They returned safely. When a
particular crew- member has been on three missions on the same
number of days in succession, he is given a forty-eight hour
pass, if conditions warrant it. The crew flying on this mission
was eligible and had their pass.
7 August 1944: On the 7th, an Airdrome in France (Bourron-
Marlotte) was successfully bombed by ships from this field.
Twelve ships from this organization took part; #7956, Capt.
