US misssion 431

Launched an all out effort to destroy the Crossbow operations ,the pilotless bomb V1 launching sites in the Pas de Calais area. Heavy flak- lost another engine, made it home OK.

 

High altitude bombing seemed to be unproductive. Other counter measures did OK but buzz bomb harassment of London continued throughout the war.
