November 6, 1944 Mission to Castel Novo Railroad Bridge




Squadron War Diary
486th Again 100% on the target. Patterns are excellent.
487th The second wave of six B-25's of this Squadron taking off at 10:05 hours with 20x1000 bombs weren't quite so successful in their attack on Borgo E. Railroad bridge. Their pattern hit approximately 100 yards east of the east approach. However, ack-ack was inaccurate and the raid was considered a milk run.
