| Group HQ | Preparatory to tomorrow's operations was the continuation of our endeavors of the past few days, the bombing of still more gun emplacements along the Marseilles' area. Three of the four designated areas, confirmed by photo coverage, were well hit with the fourth very probably hit...... |
| 486th | Mission to S France again - but combat crews meeting at 1800 hrs provided most of the news - THE INVASION OF SOUTHERN FRANCE would take place at 0800 hrs the following morning. Invasion beaches were shown, plan of air, land, and sea forces was outlined to some extent. Because of the 0400 briefing that next morning most all crews retired early. |
