| History - Missions |
There were a number of documents created for each mission. These administrative documents were required to track who flew on which mission, in which position, and their status, if injured or missing. There was "intelligence" information collected from the pilots on the amount and type of enemy resistance (Flak and Aircraft) as well as reporting on enemy fighters downed. There could be more than 100 pages of documentation generated for a specific large 95th BG mission.
