April 10, 1945 Mission to Lavezzola Troop Areas
| Squadron | War Diary |
|---|---|
| 340th HQ Diary | This morning our group pounded two troop areas at Lavezzola and in the afternoon rained a heavy frag load down on Massa Lombardia in two missions, probably doing extensive damage and casualties to troops and equipment there. |
| 486th | More close support work today - Looks as if something big in the nature of a push is about to happen. |
| 487th | Two missions with 12 ships in one and 16 in the other. Lavezzola Troop Concentrations - 12 ships. Both patterns believed to have crossed eastern half of target area, but accurate observation was difficult due to evasive action. Fires were observed emitting from areas around the buildings. One aircraft was holed as a result of flack encountered. |
