Re: 19 July 1944 9AF A-20 bomb mission to bridges SW Angers, France
Got it!
The 397th BG attacked a bridge at La Possonniere (apologies if I've spelled it wrong), SW of Angers (according to google maps) on 19 July. Five spans of the bridge were destroyed. Sources: Army Air Forces Historical Study No. 36: Ninth Air Force April to November 1944 p. 139 Bridge Busters: The 397th Bombardment Group (Medium) and the B-26 Marauder in World War II by Lieutenant Colonel David Och p. 90 (it's a thesis paper) Unfortunately I don't have anything else on the mission yet.
