Xblion Sumarz Report (Cont'd)

a. Penetration (oont'd)

ibia oauaed -.oae difficulty becauae the Wing had to oli > .rom 26,600 feet just prior to reaching the IP. Th. Low box was forced to fly throu h the tops of theae olouda. The briefed route juat prior to th IP wae deviated £rotA in order to by •• clouda higher than 26,000 f et. The hi h clouds forced the Wing to tun:a. on the bombing run North of the IP Bollbing re8ul ta ar believe t be good. The inoenderies were aeen to strike in the amoke lett by th previous bombing. For reason• yet un• known the high box did not bomb the primary target, but bollbee a tar et of laat reeort with unobaerTed re8ults.

b. Boabing Approach~~~

LeadBaxa

Along the oourae to the IP, th ppF operator gave the diatanoe and b arin of the IP. Upon reaching the clear area beyond the und roast, the leader• started lookin aeveral miles ahead for the IP, but aoon discovered that it had been ov rahot by about 10 milea. A turn onto courae for th target waa made then, but since another Wing was aeen approaching the target on the briefed courae and at an angle to oura, it waa neoeuary to -.lee a lar e S tur to g t behind th•• Thia ahortene4 th r so what but still left eLough tim for synchronisation. Theae short turn which put the formation very close behind the other Win , plus the shorter run, prOb• ably accounted at leaet partially for the abaenoe of flak burata i our box. Pr vioua bomuings ao oODlpletely covered th target area with aaoke that it wa.a dif'ficult to find even nearby re• ferenoe point• by which to looat the MPI. The incendiary burats were vilible t o gh the a oke and appeared to be on the auigned MPI.

LOW' Box&

The ing overrun the IP a few :miles. We made th turn, uncovered for a viaual run, and cam. in on a magn tic heading of 28~0 directly, b hind the Lead Box. Smoke from the bo • or th s ·preceedin Sections COTered the target area and an extr ely h avy haze prevented us fr seeing th~ MPI proper. Rate and courae wer both killed by eana of lines drawu on a grid and placed ao as o cross over th assigned aiming point. These lines extended outaide of the smoked area and aynchroniz­ation was made on objecta on these lines. Thus th assi ed MPI waa uaed a• an aiming point, in an artifioual mann r. Bomba were dropped and reaulte were excellent.
