American Mitchells based on Italy
have bombed Sofia and in doing so
were escorted by Lightnings.
Sofia is an important centre of railway
communications and railway
yard, engine sheds, sidings and

6 were shot down and against

enemy. The Germans landed
sea and airborne troops.
American fighter bombers were
