BIG WEEK resumes with full intensity against the German aircraft industry. Bomber tactics are changed slightly in that each Air Division will be directed at more widely dispersed primary targets whoch it is thought will frustrate concentration Luftwaffe fighter defenses. The aircraft industries at Rostoc in northern Germany will be one of the primary targets and because of their geographic location this formation will not receieve fighter support all the way to the target and return. The ball bearing factories at Schweinfurt and the aircraft factories at Gotha are the other two primary targets which, hopefully, will draw away Luftwaffe figther opposition from the force attacking at Rostock, Germany. Mission Summary follows:
3rd Air Division: 304 B-17s from: 94BG; 95BG; 96BG; 100BG; 385BG; 388BG; 390BG; 447BG; and 452BG are despatched to bomb the aircraft industries and other Targets of Opportunity (TOs) at Rostock, Germany. The primary targets were the aircraft industries at Tutow, Posen and Kreisling, but an accidental release by Pathfinder aircraft cause 61 aircraft to drop early before reaching the target. 295 aircraft are effective on targets in and around Rostock. 5 aircraft Failed to Return (FTR) - 13KIA 26POW(1DIC) 10INT (in Sweden). 60 aircraft are damaged. The bomber gunners of this element claim 23-11-5 of attacking German aricraft. There are no other losses or casualties.
1st Air Division: A combined force of 266 B-17s from: 91BG; 92BG; 303BG; 305BG; 306BG; 351BG; 379BG; 318BG; 384BG; 401BG; 457BG; and 482BG are despatched to bomb the ball bearing factories at Schweinfurt, Germany. This element gets good P-51 fighter escort to and from the target and Germann fighter opposition is light. 238 aircraft are effective on the target. 11 aircraft Failed to Return (FTR) - 36KIA 68POW. 160 aircraft are damaged. 2 airmen are KIA and 5 were WIA in Returning aircraft. The bomber gunners of this element claim 10-1-7 of attacking German aircraft .
2nd Air Division: 239 B-24s from: 44BG; 93BG; 389BG; 392BG; 445BG; 446BG; 448BG; and 453BG are despatched to bomb the primary target of the German aircraft industry at Gotha, Germany. Fighter opposition is heavy despite good escort from P-51 Fighter Groups and 8th Air Force takes another heavy loss of bomber crews. 169 aircraft are effective at Gotha; 44 others bomb Eisenach when the Lead Bombardier, suffering from anoxia, mistakes Eisenach for the primary. 33 aircraft Failed to Return (FTR) - 126KIA 194POW(1DIC) 1EVD. 1 aircraft with battle damage is Damaged Beyond Repair (DBR) in a crash landing upon return - 1KIA 9RTD. 28 aircraft are damaged. 3 airmen are KIA and another 6WIA in returning aircraft. The bomber gunners of this element claim 50-10-20 (probably exaggerated) of attacking German aircraft.

457th BG MISSION NO. 3 - SCHWEINFURT, GERMANY
24 FEBRUARY 1944
The Eighth Air Force spread its three Air Divisions to lessen the possibility of a massive air battle in a concentrated area. The ball bearing plants at Schweinfurt were the assigned targets forthe 1st AirDivision. Major Henty B. Wilson led the high box of the 94th Combat Wing and Lt. Albert L. Sikkenga was pilot.
Schweinfurt and its Ball Bearing Works, having been the target of previous Eighth Air Force missions, had become a familiar name to bomber crews. The 457th dispatched eighteen aircraft on the mission. As the Group neared the target area, the town could be seen burning in the distance. When the Initial Point (IP) was reached, with the 457th last over the target, the bomb bay doors of the lead ship would not open. The signal was given to the Deputy Lead to take over the formation. Engine trouble then developed in the lead ship, which veered sharply to the left, temporarily out of control, and the aircraft was followed by the formation, unaware that the Deputy Lead had taken over. The Group Lead managed to make a run on another part ofthe target area using a different aiming point. The bombs hit a widely scattered area around the arbitrary aiming point. As would be expected, Schweinfurt lived up to its reputation and enimy resistance was fierce, both by flak and by fighters.
The 457th lost one plane, piloted by Lt. Max , over the target. The craft took a flak hit that disabled engines No. 1 and 2, and No. 3 and 4 engines ran away and could not be feathered. The navigator, Lt. Darren McIntyre, was seriously injured and the right waist gunner, Sgt. Italo Stella, was killed at his station. The decision was made to crash land the craft in an attempt to better afford the navigator the opportunity to receive medical aid and survive.
Lt. Morrow successfully crash landed the craft. In a matter of minutes the dead and wounded were removed from the airplane, and the crew completely surrounded by German civilians who had encircled the area. A short time later two German officers, presumably Gestapo, arrived, took charge, and transported the crew to an interrogation center. The survivors of the crew were prisoners of war until liberated in May 1945. Lt. McIntyre later succumbed to his wounds.
Another plane returned with one dead crewman, Sgt. H. R. Pike, a victim of the enemy's fire power.
