Lt McAttee at Bengasi air base

At an air base near Bengasi, Cirenaica, Libya, 1st Lt. John E. McAttee of San Francisco, California, fastens on his "flak suit" just prior to boarding a plane to bomb the Ploesti, Roumania oil fields and refineries. Early reports from the Axis-shattering mission indicate that the source of over 35% of Germany's war machine fuel was virtually destroyed.
