November 7, 1944 Mission to Latisana Railroad Bridge




Squadron War Diary
Group HQ One mission was abortive today because of weather, while planes of the other mission successfully attacked the Ala and Latisana railroad bridges.
486th Two mission (6 ships each) today and the crews were interrogated very well by Lt. Bahm, better known as "FRAG" (short for the frag bombs which blew up on his P-47 when he bellied in some time ago in a fighter outfit).
487th A force of twelve 487th bombers took off this morning to bomb Latisana railroad bridge in Northern Italy. Flak was nil and the formation placed an excellent pattern scoring direct hits by both boxes. All planes were back to the base safely at 13:55 hours.
