Target: Bridge (Tactical) Type: Transportation Location: Altenahr, Germany |
Navigator | 42‑97592⇗ |
Combat Mission Credit High Squadron lead. Turned over lead of Squadron to deputy at the IP for a Gee-H run. The Gee-H failed about 2/3 of the way to the target and Parker resumed the lead and attempted to complete the attack visually, but was unable to. They then attempted to complete a second run visually, which was unsuccessful because conditions prevented identification of the target, so they moved on to the secondary, using PFF with visual assist.
