Squadron War Diary

486th Missions on both yesterday's and today's targets got by with practically no opposition from the enemy, but were somewhat bothered by clouds. Nevertheless, the TNT was neatly placed where it would do the most damage.

487th Not assigned to this mission.

488th Not assigned to this mission

489th The mission carried our planes to the San Michele diversion bridge. There was no opposition whatsoever, mission efficiency and bombing accuracy both being one-hundred per cent.
