    January 1945

    CHAPTER XVII - THE RULE OF WEATHER: UNCERTAIN - JANUARY 1945 (A) Narrative History The narrative story of the 461st Bombardment Group (H) for the month of January 1945 can be quickly told. It was another month of many combat crews and too few combat airplanes. It was a long month of rain, snow, driving winds, and seas of mud. It was a month of stand-downs, of bigger and better bond raffles, of growing importance of the Group Band, and of various types of staff meetings. Members of both the air and the ground echelons tried to keep their impatience, caused by the bad weather, partially under control by closely following the reduction of the German bulge on the Western Front in the Ardennes by the United Nations Armies, and the rapid advance of the Russian Armies across Poland and Hungary. The Russian drive was of special interest because the Russians either captured or eliminated five of the hottest targets left to the Fifteenth Air Force and the Group: The synthetic oil refineries at Blechhammer North, Blechhammer South, and Odertal in Germany; Oswiecim, Poland; and at Moravska Ostrava, Czechoslovakia. (B) Operations The bad weather of January was the worst in which the Group has operated since its arrival in the Mediterranean Theater of Operations. As compared to the fifteen missions in October, nineteen in November, and seventeen in December, the Group flew but eight missions during the month of January. A total of fifteen non-effective missions were planned during the month. Almost all of these were briefed and “scrubbed”. The missions were curtailed in number due both to the location and the kind of weather that prevailed in January.

Todd Olson. Olson, who died Dec. 27, 2004, of wounds he suffered in action in Samarra early in his tour with 1st Battalion, 128th Infantry, was honored at a ceremony turning a Samarra patrol base over to the government of Iraq. The outpost, Patrol Base Olson, had carried his name for more than four years. “We have won this war because of men like Staff Sgt. Todd Olson and the efforts and sacrifices of all of our Iraqi brethren in attendance today,” said Army Lt. Col. Samuel Whitehurst, commander of the 25th Infantry U.S. soldiers salute the memory of Wisconsin Army National Guard Staff Sgt.

On Friday, President Bush arrived in St. Louis aboard “Air Force One,” landing for the first time on Lambert’s newest runway, 11- 29. The runway was completed in 2006. Previous “Air Force One” operations used Lambert’s two main parallel runways with parking on the north side of the airfield. Lambert and the President’s team worked to move the operation to the west side of the airfield so other flight operations would be less impacted on the other runways. The only glitch was a morning rain storm, but the skies dried up just in time for the President’s arrival. ® ©2008 Lambert-St. Louis International Airport · Public Information Office Lambert-St. Louis International Airport® June 20, 2008 “Honored Visit” A local delegation bids farewell to China’s Vice Premier at Lambert on Monday.
