Allies Launch Aerial Attacks Across Sicily and Italy
Allied air forces struck Sicily’s Milo airfield and the Comiso Sicilian airdrome while RAF bombers hit targets in the Middle East area. Western Mediterranean raids damaged targets near Oristano and Sardinia as P-38s and Spitfires pressed the campaign. Fighter opposition was light at most targets with scattered anti aircraft fire and ground defenses weak in several areas. In a CBS report, a Fascist radio claimed allied strength shifts toward Italy as battles continued along the Sardinian coast. The piece notes the geographic center of the United States lies in Smith County Kansas.
