North Africa war drives five fronts in second grand pincers
In the Africa theater the Allies press five fronts with a two pronged plan. British 8th Army chases Rommel west from El Agheila while Eisenhower's forces push from the west and a separate push from the east targets Bizerte and Tunis. Luftwaffe air superiority and field positions shape early phase outcomes near Bizerte Tunis and Misurata as British and American air forces pound airfields and Naples port facilities for North Africa shipment.
