The aerial interdiction campaign known as<br />

Operation STRANGLE was waged <strong>the</strong> length of <strong>the</strong><br />

Italian boot ahead of <strong>the</strong> slogging ground war.<br />

This railroad bridge (above) on <strong>the</strong> outskirts of<br />

Bologna became inoperative after being bombed.<br />

Four spans are down, with two more sagging. Lest<br />

<strong>the</strong> enemy air force be forgotten, a stick of bombs<br />

cratered <strong>the</strong> runway at Pisa. Completely destroyed<br />

was this railroad viaduct at Arezzo, where only a<br />

few stubs of supports remain.
