B-17 Flying Fortresses attack Recco Viaduct

15 miles southeast of Genoa on the Genoa-Spezia coastal rail line recently. The picture on the right shows the viaduct, which consists of 20 spans, 70 feet high and extending in a sweeping curve for a distance of 1430 feet. It accommodates three rail lines and is an extremely vital link in coastal communications for the Germans. The photo on the left shows the smoke from bomb bursts covering the viaduct, with another stick of U.S. bombs on the way down to complete the destruction.
