| Squadron | War Diary |
|---|---|
| 340th HQ Diary | Missions today resulted in a 120-foot cut in the Mantua south causeway and hits on the Rovereto bridge. |
| 486th | Mission again - This time to Roveretto R.R. BR and the Calliano R.R. BR. The Calliano target was a hot one. - Lt. Cooley barreled off the end of the runway because his hydraulics were out, Lt. Calloway arrived home with 58 holes and Lt. Cantino luckily escaped an 88 M.M. explosion when the shell passed through his wing. As it was, no one was injured for which we are all very thankful. |
| 487th | Not assigned to this mission. |
| 488th | Mission to Roverto rail bridge, Italy was the ops orders of the day but it turned out that due to heavy flak our first box was the only one to bomb the primary target which they hit and got 100% on. The second box bombed Mantua north rail bridge, Italy but didn't get any pictures. It was a "hot" mission. Eleven out of twelve planes were holed and one bombardier slightly wounded. |
