Mission No 58

MISSION NO. 58
NESLES, FRANCE

3 JUNE, 1944

The Group dispatched two boxes of eighteen ships each to targets south of Boulogne. The target for the A box was a four gun howitzer battery near the village of Nesles, four miles inland from the coast. The target for the B box was a "defended locality" on the beach nine miles south of Boulogne at a hamlet called Danes. Air Commander of the A box was Captain Wilbur Snow. Air Commander for the B box was Captain J. L. Smith.

The aircraft took off without crews receiving the customary briefing. The bombing results were unobserved due to the heavy undercast. Neither flak or enemy fighters were encountered. Twenty-three similar targets were attacked in the Boulogne area by other units of the Eighth Air Force.
