March 7, 1945 Mission to Ossenigo Rail Fill

Squadron War Diary

486th The weather seems to be shifting around a great deal but it didn't keep our ships on the ground. Although there was a good bit of cloud coverage here, it cleared up by the time the boys got to the Po Valley and they did a very good job on their target. The Jerries however are getting far too good at repair work, but they will run out of labor and material before the U.S. runs out of bombs, so its just a matter of wearing them down.
