488th Snow on the ground when we awoke this morning and thinking there would be a stand-down we were almost caught short. Twelve planes took off in a mist to bomb Calliano rail bridge #3, Italy. The first box bombed the primary target and got 84% bombing accuracy while the second box bombed the alternate, Marcarla rail bridge, Italy with a score of only 50%.
