Failure to Attack Notes
Went over target with the formation but failed to drop because rods running from the selector panels to racks would not function. Due to short run and direction of attack, by the time the bombardier could insrtuct the pilot to pull 'salvo' it was apparent that bombs would have fallen in the town, so bombs were jettisoned in Channel."
"Bombing was accomplished after an extremely short run and this, coupled with the direction of the attack, contributed to the failure to bomb as by the time the failures could be corrected the aircraft were over the city of Bourges.
