| 486th | Not assigned to this mission |
| 487th | Two elements of six ships took off at 10:40 hours this morning to bomb Calliano railroad bridge and Rovereto railroad bridge in Northern Italy. Turbulent air over Calliano made bombing impossible consequently the alternate Marcaria railroad bridge ws bombed. Bomb pattern covered west approach and west end of bridge with direct hits observed. Anti-aircraft fire over Marcaria was negligent. |
| 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, Marcaria rail bridge, Italy with a score of only 50%. |
