July 11, 1944 Mission to Ceva South Railroad Bridge




Squadron War Diary
486th Not assigned to this mission.
487th Eleven B-25's of the 487th squadron took off at 09:29 hours this morning to bomb the Ceva south railroad bridge. Some of the boys claimed that it was so close to the French border that they were over French territory. Their pattern crossed the west approach and end of the target bridge, but it is believed that no spans were knocked out. Enemy opposition was nil and all planes returned safely to the base.
488th Not assigned to this mission.
489th Today we ran two missions; neither one was successful.
