6 Bomber Group January 30, 1943
Eleven Wellingtons from 424, 425, 426, and 427 Squadrons were ordered on an attack at Oldenburg in daylight. The crews were only to penetrate German territory if there was cloud cover. Successful crews were over the target at between 13,000 and 15,000 feet, releasing 14,000 lbs of high explosives. Richard Koval (6bombergroup.ca)
