August 4th 1943 Weather
Still waiting for official weather data from UK Met, in the meantime, a web report on August 4th activities of the 386th Bomb Group (a B-26 Martin Marauder equipped bomb group) shows unfavorable morning weather.
"August 4, 1943. Flying did not commence until 1230 hours due to ground fog and low ceilings (clouds, ed.). Some local flying only. Flying ended at 2000 hours (8PM local, ed.) "
The bad morning flying weather continued.
"August 5, 1943. No flying from 0700-1300 hours (1PM, ed.) because of inclement weather."
This sort of morning weather continued through the 8th of August.
I thank Chester P. Klier, Historian, 386th Bomb Group for these reports.
