September 4, 1944 Mission to Sesto Calende Railroad Bridge
| 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. |
