Carriers in Blue on Blue event
In my father's written memoirs [Captain- company CO in Patton's 3rd army]. His unit was absolutely forbidden to enter an abandoned town. A commonwealth unit in carriers passed them and went into the town for the evening. That night a large allied air bombing run was made on that town. Dad said it was a sad sight, next day, of carriers blown into houses, even into the second story. Italian campaign. I haven't found his written memoirs yet. Dave N
