December 28, 1944 Mission to Borovnica E. Railroad Viaduct, Yugoslavia




Squadron War Diary
340th HQ Diary [December 29th entry]: Yesterday the 340th went to Borovnica east, but probably did little damage though target hits were claimed.
486th Same target today as yesterday - although the bridge was knocked down according to photo interpretation, it was decided to knock more of it down -- This was accomplished because both boxes of this squadron dropped patterns across the bridge.
487th Twelve bombers of this Squadron went back to Boronovica [Borovnica] railroad Viaduct this morining, but all bombs were returned due to cloud coverage. Lt. Klebes led the formation and said that everywhere was clear excepting the area directly over the target. No doubt they'll go back to Boronovica [Borovnica] within the next few days......
488th Mission to Borovnica rail viaduct, Yugoslavia but weather too bad so bombs brought back.
489th Mission not mentioned in the diary.
