Squadron War Diary
340th HQ Diary Missions today to railroad viaducts at Borovnica in Yugoslavia. One, the east viaduct, was successfully hit. Calliano rail bridge in Italy was also hit.
486th Mission Today to Borovnica, Yugoslavia, results good, target hit.
487th Early alert this morning for eighteen crews to bomb Boronvixa [Borovica] railroad Viaduct in Yugoslavia. The formation was over the target at 11:19 hours, but due to elevations immediately south of the target and cloud cover, only one box dropped their bombs and it is believed that this pattern landed within the target area. Opposition was nil and all ships returned safely to the base......
488th Two missions today, first one to Morovnica [Borovnica] rail viaduct, Yugoslavia and second to Colliano [Calliano] rail bridge, Italy. Both 100% missions.
