| Squadron | War Diary |
|---|---|
| Group HQ | 57th Wing had a banner day today. "Decommissioning" nine bridge targets. For its part the 340th hit the Canneto, Pontevico, and Sesto Calende bridges. Pontevico bridge was amazingly completely wiped out. Sesto Calende received beautiful patterns but unfortunately most of the bombs were a shade over or a shade short. Canneto also had two or three direct hits, but lost no spans. |

| 487th | Twelve ships of the Squadron took off at 09:25 to bomb a railroad bridge at F-147237 in Northern Italy. The formation was without escort and none was needed as they encountered no enemy opposition. After the bomb run the bridge was believed to be still standing although hits were scored on the north approach and center of bridge. |
