LOW STARTING BID WITH NO RESERVE! RARE ORIGINAL WWII LIBERTY PASS A Must have for the true WWII Collector... FINE CONDITION, FOLDED from the 310 th B.G. Dated for August 8, 1944 with an extension through August 9, 1944 The 310th Bomb Group was the first bomb group in the European Theater of Operations to complete 500 combat missions which occurred July 7, 1944. An operation called "Strangle", the choking of German communications, ships, harbors, railroads and their yards, airfields, supply dumps and other targets initiated in 1944 zeroed in on the bridges of Italy. Knocking them down and in that way cut the flow of men, equipment and supplies to the German front lines and eventually lead to the enemy retreating. Group strength under the command of Col. Anthony Hunter was 1,319 men and 72 aircraft. While the ground battle continued to move north, the 3 10th took part in operation "Anvil", the invasion of Southern France . As battle lines were condensed by the German retreat into the Po Valley and Brenner Pass , anti aircraft fire became more intense and concentrated. Even so we continued to hit our targets. Just as it had been all through Italy the targets were bridges, often pontoon or makeshift crossings constructed overnight by the Germans...
