Twelve Marauders in three boxes off from PESCARA by 11.25 hours to attack a strongpoint area near RIMINI. One aircraft returned with load after 25 minutes due to engine trouble. Remaining eleven bombed from 11,000 feet and covered an area about 1000 yards square with well dispersed patterns within the briefed pinpoints. Slight, inaccurate heavy A.A. from target.
