EXPLANATION OF STATISTICAL TABLES

1. "Mission" as understood in these tables is an operation accomplished on an Operations Order. Thus the mission may be an operation
involving all Bombardment Groups, a single Bombardment Group, or two
or three Bombardment Groups. Thus Wing Missi ons No. 1-17 inclusive
involved the 460 th Bombardment Group only, since this was the only one
of the four Bombardment Groups a ssigned to the 55 th Bombardment Wing
which was operational between 19 March and 30 April 1944. Mission No.
149 also was accomplished by the 460 th Bombardment Group only, for the
reason that on that date its airfield was the only one operational due to
weather conditions. Mission No. 91, 26 August 1944, was flown by two
Bombardment Groups; the Operations Order called for these only.
2. The following tables exhibit several missions in each of which
two, three or four Bombardment Groups were directed against a separate
target. Inasmuch as these separate o perations were directed in a single
Operations Order, the several attacks constitute one Wing Mission. On
certain dates, for example, Mission No. 50, 25 June 1944, two
Bombardment Groups were directed to one and the two other Groups to a
second target; inasmuch as these two attacks were directed in one
Operations Order they constitute one Wing Mission.
3. It will be noted that on 16 November 1944, (Mission No 129) all
four Bombardment Groups attacked the West M/Y in MUNICH and on the
same date three of the four Bombardment Groups attacked Troup Concentrations in PRIJEPOLJE, YUGOSLAVIA. These separate attacks, directed
by one Operations Order, form but one Wing Mission according to the
policy of this headquarters.
4. It follows that the total numb er of Wing Missions is a conservative figure. If this headquarters had been of the mind to desire
impressive statistics, it would have been simple to have secured an
imposing number of Wing Missions by writing separate Operations Orders
for each target attacked. It is the policy of the Commanding Gen eral to
place the maximum tonnage of bombs upon the targets designated by the
Air Force Field Order, and to place them there with the maximum bombing
accuracy. It is incidental that the number of Wing Missio ns results, and
that number is regarded as of no importance in itself.
