B-17 Flying Fortresses over Verona

Photograph, taken after B-17 Flying Fortresses of the 15th AAF had completed their attack on the main railroad yards at Verona, Italy, shows the hundreds of craters left throughout the target area by exploding bombs. Heavy damage was done to the rolling stock, warehouses and other installations, and large sections of track were torn up. Verona is one of the most important communications centers in northern Italy, and is a junction on the main east-west line between Milan and Venice. Verona also lies on the railroad from the Brenner Pass to Italian industrial and supply centers. 2.
