April 23, 1945 Mission to Bassano West Road Bridge
| Squadron | War Diary |
|---|---|
| 340th HQ Diary | Three very successful missions today against pontoon bridges and ferry stages on the Brenta river northwest of Vicenza, and on the Po near Ferrara. A forth mission was abortive, while a fifth, an attack on the Polesella south ferry stage was largely a failure. |
| 486th | Three Missions today but one was turned back due to weather. The other two got through. The new crews are all afraid the war is going to end before they can get a few missions in. The rest of us hope they are right. |
| 487th | Not assigned to this mission. |
| 488th | Phosphorus hit gun position. 1st box bombed west approach and bridge 2nd box bombed over on the west bank. |
| 489th | Not assigned to this mission |
