US mission 392

"Still using substitute plane. Mission right on the beach in Boulogne north of Normandy to hit a gun emplacement in preparation for D-Day. Saw first rocket. Funny looking, like a large, red, flaming basketball travelling slowly.Small parachutes with bombs hanging from them also came down through the formation. a P.F.F mission but we bombed visually," Foster.

Parachute bombs above are actually US bombs in 1942 onto Japanese airplane.
