Description
Arezzo, Italy. c. August 1944. The Germans decided to make a strong point of this village in the Arezzo area of Italy. No. 239 Wing RAF, a Kittyhawk fighter bomber wing, in which two RAAF squadrons serve, was detailed to shift the enemy. Effective bombing and strafing drove the Germans out. After the Allied occupation of the village, two RAAF pilots make a tour of inspection to view the destruction wrought by their Kittyhawk bombers.
