| Squadron | War Diary |
|---|---|
| 340th HQ Diary | Faenza defense area number two was thoroughly carpeted with fragmentation bombs by the 340th today, and personnel and stores there were undoubtedly hard hit. |
| 486th | Frag mission to the Faenza area, very good results. |
| 487th | This morning at 09:50 hours twelve bombers of the 487th Squadron took off to bomb the Faenza defense area. Both frag patterns landed within the target area causing large explosions. It is believed that great damage and heavy casualties were inflicted on the enemy during this successful raid. Antiaircraft fire was encountered northeast of the target area, but is was inaccurate and no damage was done to the raiding bombers. |
| 488th | 488th got 100% again, this time on troop concentrations near Faenza, Italy. |
| 489th | The Faenza defense area in Italy came in for a heavy pasting on the 22nd. Fragmentation bombs were dropped and probably caused considerable damage. |
