March 24, 1945 Mission to Perca Railroad Bridge
| Squadron | War Diary |
|---|---|
| 340th HQ Diary | Yesterday [March 24th], attacking the two rail bridges on the Casarsa diversion, the group possibly scored damage on both targets and adjacent trackage. |
| 486th | The mission today on the Perca Rail Bridge was not too successful due to radio release malfunction. |
| 487th | Perca railroad bridge was the target for six 487th bombers this morning. They were over the target at 13:40 hours scoring direct hits on the center of the bridge. Bombing was so accurate that the bridge appeared to be demolished. This raid will be chalked up as another "milk run" as no opposition was encountered. |
