Rome was bombed again this morning
by American bombers based on Northern
Africa both by heavy and medium
bombers. Marshalling yards were
attacked which attacks started shortly
after 11 o'clock. The San Lorenzo yards were
attacked by heavy bombers and the
Littoria yards by medium Venturas
and Merodas. It was an all American
show which lasted 1 1/2 hours. Commander
Doolittle commanded the forces.
The Rome raid followed a heavy attack
on Milan which was carried out
in greater strength than before
