| 487th | Twelve planes of the 487th squadron took off at 08:23 to bomb a railroad bridge at Ostiglia, Italy. The formation reached the target at 09:55, but only the first box dropped their bombs on this objective. The pattern started short of the target, but covered west part of bridge. The lead ship in the second box received a burst of ack-ack on coming into the primary target and it damaged the bomb-sight and the formation held its bombs and proceeded to the alternate, a railroad bridge at PP L-994770, where they released their bombs very successfully from 10800'. Pattern covered the west approach of the railroad bridge. Ack-ack was heavy, intense and accurate over both targets, holing five of our planes. | |
