TARGET: NO BALL INSTALLATION
WATTON, FRANCE
20 JUNE, 1944

The afternoon mission of 20 June was toWatton, a repeat of Mission Nos. 15 and 20, a No Ball installation constructed along the French Coast. Twelve bombers were committed to the mission. Captain Wilbur D. Snow was Air Commander with Lt. Jonathan Herbold as pilot.

There was no Division assembly and the Wing flew alone across the Channel. The primary target was completely covered with an undercast and a target of opportunity, Poperinghe Airfield, was bombed. It was a grass covered field with little operational history. Bombs were dropped with minor results. There was no enemy fighter opposition and light flak was encountered.
