March 8, 1945 22nd Sortie (Double)
Komoron, Austria
6 - 500 lb. bombs Temp. -40 degrees F.
We had P-38 escort--excellent top cover. Primary target was for Russian support. Target was covered so we came back to Mariboro. We flew with [Paul George] Colonel. We came into target on wrong heading and was over it before Bombardier could set up his sight. We ran into very accurate flak. Possibly all 88's Colonel said target was covered so we peeled off. Took our bombs back to base. Mission about 8 hours.

At the 2017 reunion, the board approved the donation of our archives to the Briscoe Center for American History, located on the University of Texas - Austin campus.
Also, the board approved a $5,000 donation to add to Ed Clendenin's $20,000 donation in the memory of his father. Together, these funds begin an endowment for the preservation of the 376 archives.
