Background
***********
The Allied invasion of Sicily and the whole Italian
Campaign was marked by heavy use of airpower for
interdiction missions and attacking enemy transportation
network. The allied heavy bombers flew a huge number of missions
against railroad marshalling yards throughout the whole
Italy. Some missions were flown without any opposition from
the Axis air force, but some met heavy resistance.
On the Saturday 17th July, 1943, about 80 B-24's from the
Ninth Air Force and 200+ B-25's, B-26's, and B-17's from
the NorthWest African Air Force bomb Naples, Italy,
concentrating on the marshalling yard. The B-24 mission by
the Ninth is met by fierce fighter opposition; 1 B-24 is
shot down and several are damaged; they claim 23
fighters destroyed in combat.
