Note: The gap in missions from 5/29 - 6/29 - a document recommending approval for R & R leave for Rest and Recreation Camp from the Squadron Flight Surgeon for "many harrowing experiences" dated 31 May 1945 was found. It is not known if other members of the crew also received the same recommandation or not. Record of Combat Duty reflects mission of the individual crew member rather than the crew.
