15th Mission

Target for today was the marshalling yards at Offenburg, Germany.  Bombing was visual.  As far as I could make out we hit it pretty good.  Carried 10 x 500 lb and 2 M-17’s.  8 hour mission, 5 hours on oxygen.  Engines threw a lot of oil.  Couldn’t keep up with formation.  Flak was very meager.  Carried 2,600 gals.  51’s [P-51] for support.
