Operation Corkscrew
Operation "Corkscrew"
Artist Credit: Jim Sterling, Redtail7, and the 320th BG...
In June of 1943 the NASAF (Northwest African Strategic Air Force) commanded by Maj. Gen. Jimmy Doolittle, pounded the Island defenses of Pantelleria into submission. Every defensive position on the Island came under a relentless bombing attack. By the time the British assault troops came ashore to forcibly capture the island the white flag of surrender was already waving. This SNAPSHOT will reenact one such typical air bombardment mission into the Island of Pantelleria.
