| Squadron | War Diary |

| 486th | Usual Squadron duties and missions. |
| 487th | Clouds obscured the main target today, consequently the formation proceeded to the alternate which was again Piombino Harbor. Six ships of the 487th squadron were over the harbor at 13:45, but due to heavy clouds the 48x500 lb. bomb load landed beyond the target in a field northwest of the objective. Ack-ack was encountered, but due to its inaccuracy no damage was done to the formation. |
