March 30, 1945 Mission to Ora Rail Diversion Bridge

Squadron	War Diary
340th HQ Diary	Yesterday 340th group operations were weathered out, but today the group went after several targets. At the Volargne rail fill and the Romano di Lombardi rail bridge the bombs were dropped 100% in the target area. Accuracy scores on the other three targets were as follows: Ora rail diversion bridge, 57%; Ora railroad bridge, 50%, and Lagnago rail bridge, 50%.
486th	Two Men were pretty badly hurt by flak on the target today, and three planes were damaged. The results of the bombing were not observed so we will have to wait until the photo interpreter has rendered a verdict.
487th	Not assigned to this mission.
488th	Missing: 1st Lt. Emmett W. Hughes 2nd Lt. Victor M. Ramirez 1st Lt. Joseph S. Byrd S/Sgt. Richard K. Demers S/Sgt. Richard Mautner S/Sgt. Norman N. Lattner
