Number Date Target Position Aircraft Mission/Sortie Information
7⇗ 10 July 1943 Target: Drucat Airfield
Type: German Air Force (Luftwaffe)
Location: Abbeville, France 		Ball Turret 42‑3330⇗ Aborted Mission After Taking Off
Lead Group. Ground Spare Aircraft: replaced 42‑5883. Turned back because #2 engine was 'thought to be out.' Apparently the co-pilot feathered #2 after the engineer test-fired the top turret guns, thinking the engine had 'blown up.' Bomb load returned to base.
