22-28 September 1944

Overview

Only 3 missions this week, one of which was cancelled by the master bomber due to cloud covering the target area in Calais – this was probably to prevent bombs landing on friendly troops besieging the port and to reduce civilian casualties. Another point to note is that all the missions were flown in daylight. One aircraft with the entire crew were lost.
