Question: RAF Daylight light / medium bomber time table of missions document existing?

[kraut1]

Hi All,

For the USAAF I have already found a time table:

https://aircrewremembered.com/USAAFCombatOperations/

 

Is a similar document existing for the RAF Bomber Command, that includes all or many daylight light / medium bomber missions?

 

My focus is on western Europe, Netherlands, Belgium and Germany.

In Germany especially between September 1944 to end of war.

Thanks very much, I think this is good if someone searchs a specific mission.

 

For me for my EMG Germany 1943-1945 Mod. it would be helpful to have something like a list or a brief summary with date of the mission, unit, plane type and target.

I want to have an rough overview, especially about RAF daylight B25/A20 missions from September to winter 1944.

 

E.g. for USAAF tactical operations I learned that in autumn 1944 there were many B-26 / A-20 missions against railway bridges, marshalling yards in western Germany, I suppose to cut the german supply to the Hurtgen Wald.

Best thing to do is to download the squadron RAF records from the British archives and then tabulate their missions in a spreadsheet. I've done that for all the playable RAF squadrons in career mode, so that excludes the B-25 and A-20 units.

Seems necessary for the game's career thing, but probably quite some work. Thanks anyway.

Barely on the Rheinland (Valkenburg) map, but here some a-20 RAF history: https://www.americanairmuseum.com/archive/mission/raf-bomber-command
