| 340th HQ Diary | Back to the air war again. In missions today the 340th group hit both the road and rail bridges at Pordenone, 35 miles north of Venice, missed the Calliano bridge on the Brenner rail line, and managed to cut the tracks near the Rovereto bridge on the same line. |

| 487th | Strictly an operational day and seventeen bombers of this Squadron took off to bomb Pordenone railroad bridge in Northern Italy. Direct hits were scored on this vital bridge by the first and second boxes although a radio malfunction caused the third box to freak bomb five miles from the target. Anti-aircraft fire was light, scant and inaccurate causing no damage to the participating aircraft. Some crew membes disagreed as to the accuracy of the bomb pattern, but that's not unusual and the photos will tell the true story tomorrow. |
