March 16, 1944 Mission to Cassino Guns and Stores
| Squadron | War Diary | |
|---|---|---|
| 486th | The March 1944 War Diary of the 486th is missing from the record. | |
| 487th | The March 1944 War Diary of the 487th is missing from the record. | |
| 488th | Mission to same concentration as yesterday afternoon. No excitment. | |
| 489th | Our planes were over Cassino again. It is difficult to believe that there can be much left of that town after the devestating raids of yesterday during which over 1400 tons of bombs were dropped within an area of less than a square mile. Heavy, medium, light, and dive bombers were concentrated on this historic town which has blocked our way to Rome for so long. At 1900 hours last night the regular BBC broadcast from London reported the details of this heavy bombardment. Our squadron took the honors by leading this Group, which was the first over the target. |
