The USAAF in Italy Campaign
Thomas McKelvey Cleaver, a renowned aviation expert, will release Mediterranean Sweep 2025 on March 13th.
This campaign took place in the context of the coming invasion of northwest Europe, with many of the best units from the North African and Sicilian campaigns withdrawn to prepare for the new front. Those that remained had a lower priority for replacements of men and material.

Building on the story of the USAAF in North Africa and over Sicily told in his previous work Turning The Tide, renowned aviation expert Tom Cleaver uses a wide range of first-hand accounts from American, Allied, German, and Italian pilots and other aircrew to bring to life the bitter struggle in the skies over Italy from mid-1943 through to the end of World War II.
