Mission #25 - was supposed to be oil refineries at Trieste, N. Italy. 9/10 undercast so we went south to Ancona - screwed up deal. No hits on nothing. Total time 6 hours - oxygen 3˝ hours. Visibility good except primary target. Missed everything on secondary. Hupman and Sudin leading.

Woke up late this a.m. - 4:00. Briefing at 4:15 a.m. Got in on tail end of it all. Bomb bay doors wouldn't close. Takeoff delayed 20 min. No. 1 engine feathered for a few minutes.

Started building floor in our new tent. Tired out tonite. Alerted for tomorrow. Nothing more to write. Today was a milkrun. Hope this is an example of all the rest of our missions.
