A RAF’s Martin Baltimore medium bomber at Triolo Airfield, Puglia, after a rainstorm, Winter 1944. Repaired from an old Italian Air Force’s runways by American Engineer Corps in September 1943 and inserted in the Foggia Airfield Complex, Triolo was employed mainly by USAAF’s units. The raised little building in background is perhaps the control tower. Many former RAF’s Baltimore was transferred to Italian Co-belligerent Regia Aeronautica. Victor Sierra

The Blenheim L1381 was one of four aircraft of this type lost by RAF during a raid on Valona, Albania, on 7 December 1941, when it crash-landed near Sarande after being damaged by an Italian fighter.
