Mission Narrative
The 8th AF sent 455 bombers on mission #300 to bomb industrial targets at Schweinfurt, Zwickau, Oscheresleben, Schkeuditz, Halle and Leipzig. Unexpected bad weather forced the missions to be recalled. The 467th BG was part of 184 B24's of the Second Bombardment Division (2nd BD) to attack targets at Zwickau and Oscheresleben.
Twenty-seven aircraft of the 467th BG, each loaded with 52x100lb incendiary bombs, took off starting at 1012. The group assembled and reached the French coast, where it was recalled by 2nd BD due to unexpected adverse weather conditions. All ships landed safely at the base.
