| 487th | Fifteen ships of this Squadron took off at 12:10 hours to bomb Mantua north railroad bridge in Northern Italy. Three chaff ships led each element of twelve bombers. Direct hits were scored by the first box and it is believed that the bridge was knocked out. The second box made their run over the alternate, but only the first ship dropped due to radio error. Anti-aircraft fire was heavy, but inaccurate and all planes returned to the base undamaged. |
