1st operation to Schweinfurt with F/O Leggitt and crew, on their 4th operation. Very good trip huge explosions and fires in the target area. 1 JU 88 seen, but were not attacked. 32 missing
2nd operation to Stuttgart with own crew. Good prang, no fighters seen. 40 missing
3rd operation to Frankfurt with own crew. Quiet trip except for target area, where there was a lot of flak, and a few fighters, but none attacked us. 23 missing
4th operation to Frankfurt with own crew, nothing seen until [deleted] indecipherable word [/deleted] about 70 miles from target. Then without anyone seeing the fighter we were raked stem to stern, with cannon and machine gun fire, the pilot on seeing tracers [inserted] pass [/inserted] under the port wing immediately went into a cork screw. Midd [sic] upper baled out, rear gunner badly wounded (see notes) 29 miss
5th operation to Essen with own crew. Lot of cloud over the target, so could not see the results of the attack. Just as we were leaving the target, another Lancaster came out of the clouds and missed us by a few feet. 9 aircraft lost
6th operation to Nurnburg with own crew. Still very shaky from when we were shot up. There was a lot of activity all across the continent, the whole way across it was lit up with all kinds of lights on the ground, and there seemed to be a lot of fighters around, as fighter flares were going down all over the place. The target was covered with cloud and there was quite a bit of flak, but the boys made a good job of it. We lost 96 aircraft.
7th operation to Cologne with own crew. Another trip slap happy valley or flak happy valley, as they call it on this squadron. Very quiet [deleted] indecipherable word [/deleted] trip and again target was covered with cloud, but results were very good. 31 missing
8th operation to Dusseldorf with own crew. Flak happy valley again. No cloud at all at the target, and there seemed to be thousands of searchlights and fighter flares, with quite a bit of [deleted] indecipherable word [/deleted] flak going up. The target was pranged very well. Lost 29 aircraft
[page break]
9th operation to Karlsruhe with own crew. Very quiet trip indeed saw nothing worth mentioning the whole way there and back, good prang on target. 30 aircraft lost
10th operation to Essen with own crew. This time no cloud over target, bombing was very concentrated, but P.F.F. had dropped their flares slightly off the aiming point and the prang was not as good as it could have been. Halifax was running up to bomb the same T.I. as we were and there was nearly a collision. 29 missing
11th operation to Friedrichafen [sic] with own crew. Longest trip of my tour as far as I have gone, took 8 hours 50 minutes, a whole days [sic] work in an aircraft. Came up on a lot of cloud just after the French coast, in which there was some very bad electrical storms, while we were in [deleted] it [/deleted] the cloud a Halifax came up from [deleted] indecipherable word [/deleted] under our nose, and nearly took it away with its tail plane. No cloud over the target and it was a very good prang, indeed the whole town was wiped out. We were lost all the way to the target and only found it with a bit of luck, and after leaving we were lost again until [deleted] indecipherable word [/deleted] back in Gee range. That night we were first home. Lost 36 aircraft
12th operation to Maintenon with own crew. Ammunition dump in [deleted] f [/deleted] France, a marvellous prang, wiped the whole thing out, there were still explosions going off there a week later, it burnt for 10 days. Saw some wizard explosions while [deleted] indecipherable word [/deleted] over the target area, and could still see it after crossing the English coast coming back. Lost 9 aircraft
13th operation to Lyons [sic] with own crew. Target was two factories [deleted] at [/deleted] on the south east side of Lyons. [sic] Was not a very good prang P.F.F. were out and most of the bombs hit the railway junction close by the factories.
14th operation to Mailly with own crew. An army barracks east of Paris. Quiet trip until we reached the target. Saw the most flak there I have ever seen, they were putting up all kinds of stuff, the tracer consisted of all the colours [deleted] under [/deleted] [inserted] in [/inserted] the rainbow. Saw about 12 aircraft shot down by fighters and flak. 49 aircraft were lost

[map]
[inserted] 9 drawn bomb symbols and 9 target names [/inserted]

[inserted] 17 drawn bomb symbols, 1 drawn parachute mine symbol, 16 target names and drawn circle showing base in England [/inserted]

15th operation to Rennes with own crew. Target was the marshalling yards [deleted] indecipherable word [/deleted] in the town there, bombing was very concentrated, and it was a good prang. First home again.
16th operation to Hasselt with own crew. Target was again marshalling yards. P.F.F. could not find the target so we were told to go home with our bombs, but the crew did not like the idea, so we went over to another target, and asked if we could bomb that, we were told we could, so [deleted] indecipherable word [/deleted] in we went [deleted] indecipherable word [/deleted] and got a photo of the aiming point. The crew was congratulated by the Group Captain for a very good show.
17th operation [deleted] indecipherable word [/deleted] to Heligoland Bight mine laying with own crew. Was just like a cross country, sew nothing at all. Droped [sic] our mines first in the right spot.
18th operation to LE CLIPTON with own crew. A gun battery on the French coast just by Dunkirk, our bombs were the only ones that dropped on the target. Very quiet trip.
19th operation to Eu with own crew. Gun battery on the French coast south of Calais. Very good prang site wiped out. Very little flak or searchlight. [deleted] indecipherable word [/deleted] Poor show on the part of P.F.F., markers were very poor. Was just sheer luck that they nearly all hit the target
20th operation to TERGNIER with own crew. Took off with the rain pouring down, thunder rolling and lightning flashing, was expecting to be recalled at any moment, but [deleted] it [/deleted] we did not get it. Carried on to target which was north of [deleted] f [/deleted] Paris, railway marshalling yards, arrived early and had to do a dummy run over the target, our bombs fell on the target after a split second run up, fairly good prang. Was caught in Electrical storms again after leaving Reading on the way back to base.
21st operation to Dieppe with own crew. Very easy trip P.F.F. markers were down when we got there and were bang on, bombing very concentrated, right in amongst the flares, very good prang. Last trip for our midd-upper [sic] gunner. First home again.
22nd operation St Martin with own crew. Another gun site on the coast of France, quiet trip saw some flak coming up from the channel islands, but no where [sic] near

us. Thick cloud over the target so could not see results of attack. The second front started about [deleted] indecipherable word [/deleted] [inserted] 7 mins [/inserted] after we bombed.
23rd operation to Vire with own crew. Took off in very bad weather, cloud down to about 1000 feet. Slight flak [deleted] at [/deleted] over target, 3 aircraft seen shot down, photo flashes were causing more trouble than flak. We were on the Western target. On the way back to base cloud was down to 800 feet, and at base [deleted] , [/deleted] at 200 feet we were still in cloud, but managed to land quite safely.
24th operation to Caen with own crew. Target a road junction and ammunition dump, just behind the front line of the second front. We were the only crew to get anywhere near the target,[deleted] on the [/deleted] [inserted] from our [/inserted] squadron, our photo was 500 yds away and our bombs straddled the target. First home again.
25th operation to Paris with own crew. Target a railway junction, fairly good prang but PFF markers were nearly out when we got there. One of the first home.
26th operation to EVREUX with own crew. Target a railway junction, about 40 miles west of Paris. Very good prang, had to break cloud to bomb and bombed at 2000 feet, saw our bombs go right along the railway track. First home again.
27th operation to Gelsenkirchen with own crew. Target, synthetic oil plant 5 miles north of Essen. Flak happy valley. There was thousands of searchlights, and quite a lot of heavy flak. Rather shook the new crews that are only used to French targets. Home second. Bob White on his last trip, was home first.
28th operation to LE HAVRE with own crew. The harbours were very well pranged. Daylight operation, could pick out every detail in the docks, really enjoyed the trip. Bit of flak over target, but nothing to worry about.
29th operation to BOULOGNE with own crew. Again the harbours. Not such a good prang as the last, the target [inserted] was [/inserted] covered with cloud, so could not see results but should have been fairly good. First home again, Last trip of first tour.

Dearest Darling,
I know you’re going to be mad Pet when you discover I’m not coming in tonight but please try and forgive wont you. Gee! T’anks. [sic]
I’m so damned worn out that I’m going to try and go to the village and phone you and then crawl into my little bed – there to stay ‘till break of day. In fact long after break of day if I can work it. And I think I can.
We had a fairly

quiet trip last night but it was too long for my liking – almost 8 hrs.
When we came over the English coast coming home we were over cloud and our ack ack opened up at us and by hell it was hot. However, we soon overcame all our troubles.
By the way darling you’re a naughty girl – in more ways than one – I never got a letter from you again today. But you haven’t done too badly this last couple of weeks and you are already forgiven. xx
[page break]
xxx.
Now isn’t that most condescending of me.
I didn’t tell you but today is a stand down. It’s silly you know – they give us a stand down after two night running and we’re then too worn-out to take full advantage of it.
Did you know I love you darling? xxx I do.
Isn’t anything else to write about for now so it’ll be adious [sic] ‘till next time.
All my fondest love darling and “millions” of x’s
Yours

[underlined] ATTACK ON E-BOATS, BOULOGNE. [/underlined]
[underlined] NARRATIVE. [/underlined]
Following the highly successful attack on Le Havre, the squadron was detailed to make a similar attack on the E-Boat facilities at Boulogne.
This attack was timed to take place at the same moment that another force was to carry out an attack on the Port Installations. Unlike the attack on Le Havre, however, the Squadron planned to bomb during the Main Force “time on target” and not ahead of it. In other respects the plan was to be the same.
The weather over Boulogne was most unfavourable with 8/10 to 10/10 cloud at 15,000’, and another layer at approximately 9,000’. At 2243 hours, the Lancaster Leader, S/Ldr. Munro, decided that conditions were unfit for a precision attack and ordered the whole force to return to Base. Immediately after he had sent this message he received a signal from aircraft ’N’ saying that it was clear below 8,000’, so he cancelled his instruction and descended to below 8,000’ to investigate the conditions. In view of the poor visibility and the intense flak opposition he encountered at this height, he sent out a further signal ordering the bombers home.
By the time this last message had been received, some of the Lancasters had already dropped their bombs. Six of them had gone to below 9,000’ to do so, two had bombed through gaps from over 12,000’, while one had bombed on the red T.I. markers which had been dropped by P.F.F. for use by the Main Force. Eleven of the aircraft brought their bombs back to Base.
Results were unassessed on account of the cloud and smoke from fires and from bombing, but three very large explosions were seen in the area.

Description
An account of the resource
Describes planned timing to attack at the same time as the main force. Reports that weather was unfavourable. After initially cancelling the operation leader checked out weather at low level but decided low visibility and target defences precluded attack. Some aircraft had already bombed but 11 aircraft brought bombs back to base.

[underlined] PROVISIONAL STATEMENT OF DAMAGE. [/underlined]
The attack was well concentrated over the whole of the docks area and on and around the E-boat pens. Damage to shipping and port facilities is very severe.
The pens have clearly been hit several times, a section of the lower docking, measuring 100 feet x 40 feet, along the south side of the Bassin Loubet has been blown away, and several craters are visible on the main roof although there is no apparent structural damage. A large building of similar construction to the West of the pens has received at least one direct hit. All three oil storage tanks, and some nearby buildings, to the north west of the pens have been completely destroyed. In the same vicinity, coal handling facilities have been seriously affected by the buckling of a grantry. [sic]
Damage and destruction of port facilities includes very severe damage to the Maritime Station, the destruction of the Customs Offices, damage to the lock gates between Port de Maree and Arriere Port and numerous craters on almost every quay.
It is evident from the number of wrecked or partly submerged craft still visible in the port that shipping suffered seriously in the attack. No fewer than 8 wrecked or damaged vessels measuring from 100 to 150 feet in length and 5 measuring from 150 to 200 feet can be seen, and in addition the floating dock in the Bassin a Flotto is severely damaged and almost completely submerged.
Railway facilities situated to the south west of the Bassin Loubet have been heavily hit and almost all the buildings are partially or completely wrecked. The central station is severely damaged and seen to be still on fire at the time of photography.
The Arsenal to the South of the Bassin Loubet, damaged in previous attacks, is now almost razed, the major portion of the destruction probably having been caused by a large explosion which is revealed by the presence of an unusually big crater.
The/
[page break]
The adjacent barracks have again been hit.
Further damage has been caused by this attack in the town Marshalling Yard and the railway bridge crossing the river Lione has received at least 2 hits.
In the main part of the town of Boulogne to the East of the Port de Maree, damage to business and residential property is severe, and in this area identified buildings which have suffered heavily include the main post office and a fish market.

[underlined] BOULOGNE. [/underlined]
[underlined] GENERAL STATEMENT. [/underlined]
A re-examination of the photographs taken after the daylight attack on the Dock Area of Boulogne on 15th June, 1944 by aircraft of Bomber Command confirms the damage and destruction of shipping and port facilities and devastation of parts of the town reported in Immediate Interpretation Report.
A more detailed study, however, has shown that some 25 vessels are damaged or sunk in water shallow enough to permit interpretation, and that of the nine E/R boats visible on 15th June before the attack, only one, and that probably damaged, is seen on these photographs taken two days later. Sheds in the boat building yards and warehouses in the immediate neighbourhood of the docks have all been damaged and the dock walls and quays breached in many places.
A large Brick and Tile Works, two ice factories as well as other small industrial concerns are seen to have suffered damage. The Town Gas Works and an Electricity Sub-Station have also been affected.
1. E/R Boat Pens Section of Quay destroyed; 1 crater in roof, possibly penetrating and 2 or 3 blast areas on roof.
2. Building of similar construction S.W. of E/R Boat Pens. Non-penetrating blast area on roof due to direct hit.
3. Three Oil Tanks W. Of Pens - all 3 destroyed.
4. Defended Area - numerous craters.

Wing Commander Cheshire, D.S.O., D.F.C.,
Royal Air Force Station

Lincolnshire.
Dear Cheshire,
When I visited you, you raised the question of trimming the Mosquito VI to avoid sideslip. I referred your query to the Aero Department here whose remarks are as follows:-
“ We have not done any flight measurements of the sideslip on the Mosquito, but it would be contrary to our experience on other aircraft on which sideslip has been measured if it were really necessary to fly the Mosquito with one engine at 2 p.s.i. more than the other in order to avoid skid in straight flight. It should be possible to fly with equal power on both sides and with no skid provided the ridder s correctly trimmed. The rudder trimmer setting needed for this,

however, will probably vary with airspeed.
Possibly W/Cdr. Cheshire means that by flying with asymmetric power this change of rudder trim with speed is avoided. This is quite possible, but the aircraft would be skidding (wings level) especially at low speeds. We have not, however, done any flight tests, to check this point.”
I mentioned to you during my visit that we might be able to let you have a completely free Artificial Horizon. We have in fact got a serviceable Italian instrument of this type which includes a scale showing angle of dive.
We could let you have this instrument but you might have some difficultly in fitting it as it [inserted] may be [/inserted] too big to substitute for the standard Artificial Horizon. You could, however, fit it on a separate panel and it might help you on occasions when the standard instruments goes mad.
If you would like to have this instrument you could get someone to collect it or I would sent it to you, if you wish.
Yours sincerely
G Gardiner
