February 27, 1945 Mission to the Spilimbergo Dumps
| Squadron | War Diary |
|---|---|
| 340th HQ Diary | Yesterday [February 27th] planes from the group went back to Spillembergo ammo dump and caused extensive damage there, photos revealing that 21 of 30 revetted huts in the target area were hit by our explosives. At Pagnacco another dump felt the weight of two patterns, and bridges at Motta di Livenza, alternate targets, were cut on the track approaches... |
| 486th | Striking an ammunition dump in Italy with such accuracy that the explosion rocked the ships at 9,000 feet gave the crewmen a sense of great satisfaction after bombing bridges for so long. |
| 487th | Not assigned to this mission. |
| 488th | Twelve planes to the same place as yesterday and this time the mission completed. 100% bombing accuracy. One of the ammo dumps exploded and smoke went up to over three thousand feet. |
