| 487th | San Ambrogio Station was the primary target for fifteen bombers of this Squadron taking-off at 09:00 hours this morning. Chaff and phosphorus ships led the formation into the target and the second box dropped on the primary – their pattern appeared to be immediately east of the center in the yards. The first box bombed the alternate, Calcinato railroad bridge crossing the tracks east of the bridge. Heavy, moderate and very accurate anti-aircraft fire was encountered over both targets, holing three of the participating aircraft. Other squadrons in the formation suffered casualties and severe injuries to personnel so the 487th was really fortunate today. |
| 488th | Six planes to Calcinato rail bridge, Italy. Another big miss. |
