December 29, 1944 Mission to Mota di Livenza West




Squadron War Diary
340th HQ Diary On the missions today possible hits were scored on the rail bridge at Motta di Liverza, north of Venice, after the formations had returned from Yugoslavia, where bad weather prevented them from bombing Borovnica east railroad viaduct. A mission to Prodenone railroad bridge was unsuccessful. Yesterday the 340th went to Borovnica east, but probably did little damage though target hits were claimed.
486th Mission again today and again to Yugoslavia on the Borovnica target. Boxes did not bomb because of cloud coverage. Alternate in Italy was bombed by one 486th box - Results good.
487th Not assigned to this mission.
488th Motta di Livenza was the target today on which 100% was scored.
489th Not assigned to this mission
