Diary Type: Combat - 18 Dec 44

Waite, Lyle Dwaine
We got up this morning to fly a mission to “Colbenz” to bomb the marshaling yards. We got within 100 miles of the I.P. and the mission was recalled. I flew the top turret, because it had a K-9 sight. We didn’t get credit for the mission. We flew ship No. 641, had 12x500 lb.bombs. We flew five hours thirty minutes.
