| 340th HQ Diary | Imola Ammo stores was our first target with heavy concentrations of bombs in the target area causing huge explosions and fires.... The second and third targets Palazzolo RR bridge and the Cannetto sul Oglio RR bridge were both very successfully hit....... For a record breaking day the formations participating scored 100% for bombing accuracy and bombing efficiency |

| 487th | Another hot target this morning for eighteen ships and crews of this squadron - target was Imola stores and take-off at 12:23 hours. Along with the intense anti-aircraft fire which holed nine of the ships, for FW 190's approached the rear of the first box, but turned off when fired upon. All bombs are believed to have landed within the target area although the effectiveness of such a raid is difficult to ascertain. |
