November 16, 1944 Mission to Faenza Road 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 | Mission today achieved poor results. |
| 487th | Faenza Road bridge was again the target for twelve bombers of the 487th Squadron. Take-off was at 13:25 hours, and all planes returned safely to the base after completing the very successful raid. Direct hits were observed on the bridge with several spans believed knocked out. Anti-aircraft fire encountered was inaccurate and no damage was done to the participating aircraft. Six planes of this Squadron also participated in a nickeling mission over Northern Italy this morning. Nickels were dropped in the designated areas without opposition |
