The major railroad viaduct near the city was selected as primary for this raid. At 0545 and 0630 hours, (30) aircrews were briefed and (29) were dispatched starting at 0835. A total of (28) ships were over the target area led by a GH ship. The high squadron dropped visually with the main pattern concentrated 3000 feet south-southeast of the MPI, however, some bombs of the (225) 1000 pounders released did impact at the base of the target. There were no fighters and flak was negligible. One bomber was damaged by AA fire. All recovered safely at Wendling around 1430 hours.
