Major Glen DAVIS, Officer Commanding No. 60 Squadron, S.A.A.F. arrived late in the afternoon and spent the night. He and party were flying two Mosquito light bombers from the Delta to his Squadron. The Mosquitoes attracted considerable interest as they are the first of their type in the M.E.
The weather was good and the Squadron carried out an early operation. The target was the Railway Station at SULMONA in ITALY. The main railway station was bombed; a stick of bombs fell across the Railway Yards and the road. Some direct hits were scored on track and buildings; the S.E. portion of the target was well covered by a close pattern of bombs. No opposition was encountered and all the aircraft returned safely.
Sortie Report No. 540.
