398th Mission Names and Locations

To assist viewers in finding our targets, a list of our mission names and locations is under construction by Don Parks, 398th member and nephew of John Bornstedt, 601st pilot. Please note that actual missions were to military targets such as marshalling yards, bridges, gun enplacements, etc. The mission target name was to the city or closet city they were located.

Notes:

This work will take many months to complete. Currently only 21 of 195 have been completed.
