November 16, 1944 Mission to Castelnuovo Railroad Bridge




Squadron War Diary
340th HQ Diary Castelnuovo bridge took a good pounding from 340th planes today, but a close support mission against the Faenza road bridge in favor of the Polish corps with the British 8th Army was a disappointment. The nickeling mission scheduled for yesterday was run off today.
486th Not assigned to this mission
487th Not assigned to this mission.
