Mission Reports

Tuesday, 07 August 2007 17:46 | Author: Rod Hupp | PDF Print E-mail
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.

Click on the RED title to view an actual 95th BG mission report of that type.

    Aircraft Formation - This shows where each plane should be during the bombing raid.  Under each pilot's name is the plane identifier (last 4 digits of the plane number). 

    Take off Schedule - This provides a list of all planes on the mission and their scheduled take-off time.  It also shows what Bomb Squadron the plane was with, the Radio Call Letter of that Aircraft, the Pilot's Name, and the return time or disposition.      

    Engineering Report - Aircraft Damage - This is a post-mission report that provides a detailed list of status and damage of all aircraft associated with a mission.  

   Pilot's Interrogation Report - This is a post mission report that lists all the men on the aircraft for the mission and their position.  It also provides the pilot's narrative on the amount and type of enemy resistance (Flak and Aircraft)  as well as reporting on enemy fighters downed or damaged. 

   Mission Summary - Effectiveness of Mission is summarized.

   Munitions Report - This summarizes the types and volumes of weapons, ammunition, and bombs used for the mission.
