Fighters and fighter-bombers attacked an airfield north of Rome and a seaplane base in the same area, destroying at least 10 enemy aircraft on the ground. Today’s Allied naval communique says that American warships patrolling off south-west Italy are protecting shipping and are ready to lend support to the Allied land forces. British warships have been shelling German positions on the plain of Naples along the base of Vesuvius today. It is ttie first time that our warships have added to the fight so far north of Salerno.
