April 8, 1945 Mission to La Spezia Gun Positions
| Squadron | War Diary |
|---|---|
| 340th HQ Diary | La Spezia coastal guns were again our target, it having been reported the 92nd still was pinned down by the batteries. So, from Rimini on our first mission, went our B-25s today, and patterns were laid down in both target areas, though on one little damage was wrought. Possible hits were scored on the Vo Sinistro rail fill. An alternate target, the Bondeno rail bridge, was heavily bombed. The Big Push starts tomorrow on the Eighth army front. |
