| 488th | Twelve planes to the Rovereto rail bridge, Italy. 43% bombing accuracy. None or rather scant ack-ack but very turbulent winds are the only excuses for the low percentage. |
| 489th | Today has followed the usual pattern. Right now we have twelve winging their way through adverse weather to an important target in Northern Italy. The weather here at Alesan is threatening; we may be in for more rain. |
