Have you tried looking up the individual dates on the internet.......I did look at the first date and came up with the 100th BG. What I could not ascertain is if more than on Group made the mission....on the 30 November mission I think nearly 600 aircraft were launched at various target. One of those assigned to Merseburg was the 398BG. If you continue looking at each mission you may be able to find the Group thru elimination. This was all a quick lool!!!!

The 100th BG flew all these missions so the tags could be from 100th BG planes. On the 100th BG website it indicates the December 2 mission was recalled due to weather, but they might have dropped the bombs in the channel. They should have left the pins in if they did though.
