MISSION: TO EMDEN GERMANY
Four A/C of this squadron took part on a mission to Emden, Germany. The mission was led by
two B-17 pathfinders from the 92nd group equipped for marking the target for bombing through
clouds. 9/10s cloud cover over the target forced this bombing method into use with doubtful
results. Enemy fighters were active and eager. Sgt. Heinreitz was KIA by a 20mm direct hit. The
91st had three ships missing one of which was 2/Lt. Merritt in ship #750.
