| Squadron | War Diary |

| 340th HQ Diary | Three missions today took us to the Piacenza area with barracks, a gas plant and one of the RR bridges as the targets. All three were satisfactorily bombed. A fourth mission took us to the North Magenta RR bridge and here again the boys did right well for themselves. |

| 487th | The first of the month brought forth two hot missions which we hope is no indication of the targets to come. In the morning, seventeen ships of the 487th Squadron took off to bomb Piacensa barracks in Northern Italy. They were over the target at 10:51 and laid their pattern on the northern half of he buildings incurring considerable damage. One ship was holed as a result of the anti-aircraft encountered. |
