Recorded Missions ¶

1st Mission ¶

Munich - 07/11/1944 Rosie’s Sweat Box first mission took place on the 11th July 1944 and the target was the railroad marshalling yards and depot in Munich. This was to be the 17th mission for pilot 1st Lt. Woodville G. Rozzell and his crew and the first of three missions to Munich which they completed together as a crew. During this 1st mission Rosie's Sweat Box held a position in the High Box formation – A Wing. Although flak over the target was intense, it was inaccurate, and none of the Group suffered battle damage.

Further Missions ¶

Throughout her further 24 combat missions, Rosie’s Sweat Box was manned by eleven different crews undertaking raids in Germany, France and Belgium. On her 4th mission to the German rocket manufacturing facilities at Peenemunde , 2nd Lt. McClung acted as lead navigator within the Low Box Formation. The weather was clear and, as a result, visual bombing resulted in excellent results.
