A Supermarine Spitfire Mark IX of No. 43 Squadron RAF undergoes servicing in an anti-blast pen by the taxiway at Nettuno’s airstrip, near Rome (see other description in WW2 in color) prepared after the strengthening of Anzio’s bridgehead. North American P-51Cs of the 15th USAAF can be seen parked to the left of the pen. Italy, 1944. Victor Sierra
