Transportation facilities near this town were assigned for strike on this day with (20) crews being briefed between 0345 and 0500 hours. At 0925, all Group aircraft began take-offs in what proved to be a rather uneventful mission after local fog delayed take-off for (2) hours. All ships went over target, again releasing by H2X radar, with (224) 500# weapons impacting in the target area. Bombing results could not be observed due to weather. Friendly fighter support was excellent and no enemy aircraft were sighted. Flak was meager but accurate enough to cause battle damage to (3) returning Liberators. All recovered safely at 1530.
