EUROPEAN THEATER OF OPERATIONS (Eighth Air Force)
Four radar-equipped B-24s of the 329th Bombardment Squadron (Heavy),

alerting
air-raid crews in the area north of the Ruhr. The 329th has been in
training for these operations since 14 Dec. This mission and two
subsequent
missions in Janauary are foiled by clear weather over the target
area.

fighter
patrols.
