US mission 394

 

"D-Day. This is what we are all working for, and I'm glad to see it come. Our target Saint Lo; a number of bridges and important highways. Endless chains of planes in the air. 12,000. Our colonel was in the P.F.F ship but ditched in the Channel. Our target cloud covered, returned to base with our bombs. We went out again that afternoon, but had a division recall, and again landed with a bomb load.", Foster.
