Mission 8, March 15. After many stand downs due to snow and rain, we managed to get 40 B-24's loaded with 1,000# GP bombs off the ground. They
were to bomb the town of Cassino where our ground forces were held up by Kesselrings's forces. Thirty-four aircraft bombed the primary target but five
bombed the town of Vallarotonda by mistake. There was no flak at the target. Our only claim to fame today was that we dropped 120 tons of bombs. All
planes returned to base.
