| Accurate observation made impossible due to fighter attacks and 10/10 cloud conditions. A/C no’s. 534, 845, 941, and 095 believed lost here. 8 chutes and 5 chutes seen in air but which plane they came from is not known. Formation was badly broken up. All A/C believed lost to E/A. | ||
| No Data | THEY WERE LOST ON THEIR 26TH MISSION--EIGHT OF WHICH WERE TO BERLIN (There were were actually nine, the 03 Mar 1944 one was recalled; it is likely in view of the fact Malooly flew 7:00 hrs that day, they came very close or may have actually bombed Berlin. By all accounts this crew must be credited with eight (8) and likely nine (9) Berlin bombings. I know of no other 100th crew that made as many trips to the dreaded "Big B" ) pw CREW FLEW A/C "POWERHOUSE" GROUND CREW CHIEF: SGT GEORGE PULLAR. |
