April 10, 1945 Mission to Lavezzola Troop Areas




Squadron War Diary
486th More close support work today - Looks as if something big in the nature of a push is about to happen.
487th Two missions with 12 ships in one and 16 in the other. Lavezzola Troop Concentrations - 12 ships. Both patterns believed to have crossed eastern half of target area, but accurate observation was difficult due to evasive action. Fires were observed emitting from areas around the buildings. One aircraft was holed as a result of flack encountered.
