The 344th BG was the first group to attack Utah Beach. They bombed a
number of German coastal artillery sites. The next group over Utah
Beach was the 387th BG. Due to cloud cover, all bombing was carried out
below the cloud base. As I indicated in my previous e-mail, the cloud
base ranged from 1,650 ASL to 3,000 feet ASL. The 366th BG was the last
to drop its ordnance, just a mere five minutes before the initial
landings took place.

Chris, does your source say at what altitude the Marauders bombed
from? (I realize that they were stacked up.)

Art, what altitude do you think you bombed from?

thanks - Dan
