North-American 'B-25 Mitchell' bommenwerper. Volturno River position blasted by Usaaf. Two B-25 Mitchell medium bombers of the Northwest African Air Forces wheel over German gun positions along the Volturno River, north of Napels, Italy. A long line of bombs from other planes in the formation may be seen bursting in the centre of the picture. The Nazi's struggle to prevent Allied Ground Forces from crossing the river proved futile.
