Mission: Six A/C of this squadron took off for Bremen, Germany. Colonel Clemens K. Wurzbach
flew with Capt. Gladstone leading the group and also two combat wings in to our target which
was not successfully bombed. Excellent support by P-47's carried our bombers almost to the
target and gave good withdrawal support from the vicinity of Meppen. An unusual number of
twin engine enemy fighters were out using rockets actively on six o-clock attacks. One of our
A/C failed to return.
