“Tobasco Keeds”.Over Koblenz/Mosel.

Oberschmid’s 116-V attacked the secondary on the lead by PFF at 11:59 from 22,200 feet on a heading of 350 degrees. Time off and time down were left blank. The crew carried twelve 500-pound GPs and two smoke bombs. The navigator figured the bombs dropped 10–12 miles south, on the next bend in the river. They reported no flak and no enemy aircraft. Fighter support was called good. The crew noted that X of the 409th called in on UHF at 12:35, called again at 12:45, and landed at Brussels with one engine in trouble. Lt. Brillhart is typed on the form with no role. Sortie credit was given.
