| 486th | Target presented at 0555 briefing was a few miles from Lyon - a long, long trip. Only one box of the 486th dropped - results: some say possible hits, some say pattern was short. |
| 487th | Not assigned to this mission. |

| 489th | A R.R. viaduct at Tarare, France was assinged to us as our target for the day. Haze, with 1/10 cloud coverage at 4000 to 5000 feet, made it impossible to sight the viaduct and all the thousand pounders were brought back. |
