All three groups were aloft on the 26th September 1944 when they attacked a recently completed temporary road bridge at Ostiglia, Lombardy, Italy. Crews found the target to be heavily defended, and the 17th BG lost three Marauders to flak. B-26C-45 42-107535 B/N 28 "Shock Date", flown by 1st Lt Jacob Miller of the 37th BS, was abandoned by its crew, one of whom was group CO, Col R O Harrell, who returned to Corsica the next day.
The remaining two Marauders (B-26G-5 43-34241 B/N 55 and B-26C-15 41-34921 B/N 63 "Helen", both from the 95th BS) crash-landed at Borgo, when they ran off the end of the runway.
