April 13, 1944 Mission to Ficulle Railroad Bridge




Squadron War Diary
486th Target was the RR bridge NW of Ficulle with alternate Terni M/Yds. Briefing time was at 0800. Take-off at 0856. The boys went without breakfast as it wasn't decided what organization of the 321st we were to mess with. The 486th bombed a highway bridge 4 miles NW of the target. Several bursts were very close to the north end of the bridge.
487th Not assigned to this mission.
