April 17, 1945 Mission to Bologna West Railroad Bridge
| Squadron | War Diary | |
|---|---|---|
| 486th | We finally got around to that bridge at Bologna that we were after yesterday. The weather was clear and a pretty good pattern was placed on it. | |
| 487th | First mission took off this morning at 7:30 AM to bomb the Bologna West Railroad bridge. Heavy, scant but inaccurate anti-aircraft fire hampered the twelve ship formation which scored direct hits squarely in the center of the bridge. | |
| 488th | Not assigned to this mission | |
| 489th | Life here continues as usual with all efforts being directed toward hitting the enemy as hard as possible as often as possible. |
