Waite, Lyle Dwaine
We flew mission No. 15 today. We were to bomb the airfield at “Perleburg” visually only. The primary and secondary were both closed in, so we had to bring our bombs back. We were briefed for 50 ME-262 jets to attack, but there was only 6 or 8. One came through our formation so fast we didn’t get a shot at it. They sure are a nice looking place. We flew No. 949 leading the 2nd squadron in “B” group. We carried 10x100 lb. Bombs and one smoke bomb. We flew seven hours and forty minutes.
