Julius Pickoff
Group Bombardier, 401st Bombardment Group (H)
Major Julius Pickoff, known
to most as simply “Pick”, was chosen to be Group Bombardier by Colonel Bowman
while the Group was in training, and remained in that position until V-E Day. He flew 24
missions as Lead Bombardier, including a number of Wing and Division leads, and directed
the training and assignment of the Group’s bombardiers.
Major Pickoff repeatedly
distinguished himself for bombing accuracy, and was a member of the 94th CBW's exclusive
"100" Club, for placing 100 percent of a formation's bombs within 1000 feet of
an assigned target.
