Mission No 36

MISSION NO. 36
BERLIN, GERMANY

29 APRIL, 1944

This mission took the Group to the business district of Berlin.

Twelve Combat Wings were directed to Berlin. The Group supplied twenty-four aircraft and flew as the high box in the 94th Combat Wing. Major George C. Hozier flew as Air Commander, and Lt. Mark R. Beicher as pilot. There was an undercast at the target area. All aircraft dropped bombs on the Wing Lead PFF ship. Bombing results were unobserved. No enemy aircraft were observed; flak was moderate to intense. No aircraft were lost.

Other wings were not so fortunate. One B-24 Group lost eighteen planes near Magdeburg, and a total of sixty-three bombers failed to return
