History of the Mediterranean Air War, 1940-1945

The 4th volume in this series commences with the attacks on the Italian island fortress of Pantellaria which led to its surrender and occupation achieved almost by air attack alone. This is the story of the tactical air forces up to the point when Rome was occupied, just at the same time as the Normandy landings were occurring in north-west France.

Cel de-al patrulea volum din aceasta serie importanta incepe cu atacurile asupra cetatii insulei italiene Pantellaria, care a dus la predarea si ocuparea acesteia realizate aproape numai prin atacul aerian. Contul continua cu invaziile cu succes, dar uneori foarte luptate, din Sicilia si din sudul Italiei ca putere aeriana aliata in crestere, acum cu implicare deplina a SUA, dominand din ce in ce mai mult cerul deasupra capului.
