In the morning a formation of twelve of our aircraft took off to attack the town of PALENA. The leader did a dummy run on the first approach, and the bombs, having failed to drop on the second, were jettisoned on the third run up. The second box bombed before the leading box. Bombs were seen to fall in the South Western portion of the town.
Sortie Report No. 511.
