Summary This episode covers the rarely mentioned air campaign fought in the skies over Italy from July 1943 to July 1944. It looks at how the Allies used their air superiority to support the Sicilian and Salerno landings and how the foothold gained on the Italian mainland allowed them to create forward bomber bases capable of striking previously unreachable targets. As the Allies pressed ever northward, air power would play a significant role in the Anzio landings, at Cassino and in the liberation of Rome.
