24-30 September 1943

Overview

12 Sqn took part in 2 operations this week, Hannover and Bochum in Germany – no aircraft were lost, but one crew member was killed by flak in the attack on Hannover. Although flak was a danger to RAF bombers, only 25% of aircraft losses over enemy territory were caused by flak – the other 75% were the result of either night fighters or mechanical problems.
