| 487th | There were two targets for twelve planes of the 487th squadron this morning. Ferrara road bridge was the primary and Chivari the alternate. The first box laid down a compact pattern which crossed the center of the primary target scoring several direct hits. 2nd box bombed beyond and to the right of alternate possibly crossing the east approach of the bridge. Smoke screen was used quite effectively at the primary. Approximately 10 F.W. 190's were observed in the vicinity of Porto Maggiore which attacked the last box in the flight. Heavy, moderate but inaccurate flak of the barrage type was encountered although it only holed one plane. |
