During the course of World War II, throughout the Mediterranean Theatre of Operations (which encompassed some7500 square miles of enemy air space), five USAAF medium-class bomb groups and their 20 bomb squadrons used their allotments of B-25 Mitchell aircraft to perfection. From low-altitude strafing to high-altitude bombing runs, the B-25s in the MTO proved themselves to be a most successful brood of combat aircraft. This volume includes first-hand accounts.
