Diary of 1942 1943 1944 and 1945. Tabular Data. Appendix covers Pilots Navigators Bombardiers Radar Observers Ground Officers Master Sergeants and Aircraft. There is a Key to Abbreviations. Residue inside the front cover. Russell A Strong served as a navigator with the 306th Bomb Group. He flew in Milton Adam's crew. He also was in Intelligence and Public information for six weeks at Thurleigh 13 Sept 1944 to 1 Nov 1944. He completed his missions on 26 November 1944. R.A. Strong became the founder and long-time secretary of the 306th Bomb Group Association and attended the official opening of the American Air Museum at Duxford. This is the first volume issued by the 306th Bomb Group Association to provide its membership with more detailed information about the activities of the four combat squadrons of the 306th Bomb Group. The four diaries were prepared between 1942 and 1945 by the several intelligence officers assigned to the squadrons. In this volume at lease three men actually did the writing at various times. These diaries deal in large measure with the combat phase of squadron life but include other aspects of events at Thurleigh Bedfordshire England the home of the 306th Bombardment Group from early September 1942 until late 1945 long after the end of hostilities. Appended are lists compiled in more recent years. These lists previously appeared in 306th Echoes and have been edited and enhanced. Much of the material contained herein furnished essential data for the Editor's First Over Germany. The squadron was first established in March 1942 at Gowen Field Idaho as the 368th Bombardment Squadron one of the original four squadrons of the 306th Bombardment Group. In April its personnel moved to Wendover Field Utah where it began training with Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress heavy bombers. On 1 August 1942 the squadron's ground echelon began its deployment spending a week at Richmond Army Air Base Virginia before moving to Fort Dix New Jersey at the Port of Embarkation. It sailed on the RMS Queen Elizabeth on 30 August arriving in Scotland on 5 September 1942. The air echelon departed for Westover Field Massachusetts and began ferrying their B-17s to England via the North Atlantic ferrying route. The squadron settled into its combat station RAF Thurleigh England in early September. Although several bomber units arrived in England before the 368th when these units left England to participate in Operation Torch it became along with its companion squadrons of the 306th Group the oldest bombardment squadrons of VIII Bomber Command. It few its first combat mission on 9 October 1942 against a steel factory near Lille France but with poor results. This was the first mission on which VIII Bomber Command assembled a strike force of over 100 bombers. The squadron operated primarily against strategic targets including the locomotive factory at Lille marshaling yards at Rouen France and Stuttgart Germany. The squadron took part in the first strike into Germany by bombers of Eighth Air Force on 27 January 1943 when it struck U-boat yards at Wilhelmshaven. It struck shipbuilding yards at Vegesack ball bearing plants at Schweinfurt the aircraft factory at Leipzig Germany and similar facilities. On 11 January 1944 the squadron participated in an attack on an aircraft plant in central Germany near Brunswick. Extensive cloud cover had resulted in the recall of two of the three bombardment divisions involved in the mission and made the rendezvous of the fighter groups scheduled to provide cover in the target area difficult. In contrast clear weather to the east of the target permitted the Germans to assemble one of the largest fighter formations since October 1943 with 207 enemy fighters making contact with the strike force. For this mission the squadron was awarded the Distinguished Unit Citation DUC. The following month the squadron earned a second DUC for its performance during Big Week an intensive bombing campaign against the German aircraft industry. Despite adverse weather on 22 February that led supporting elements to abandon the mission the squadron and group effectively bombed the aircraft assembly plant at Bernburg Germany. The squadron also performed in a tactical role assisting ground forces Operation Cobra the St Lo breakthrough Operation Market Garden the attempt to establish a bridgehead across the Rhine near Arnhem in the Netherlands stopping German attacking forces in the Battle of the Bulge and bombing enemy positions during Operation Varsity the airborne assault across the Rhine in the spring of 1945. After V-E Day the squadron became part of the occupation forces and participated in Project Casey Jones the photographic mapping of portions of Europe and North Africa. The 306th Group began to phase out of the project in July. In February 1946 the squadron moved to Istres-Le Tubé Air Base France where it absorbed elements of the inactivating 92d and 384th Bombardment Groups returning to Germany in July. The squadron was inactivated in December 1946. 306th Bomb Group Historical Association unknown
