The Spitfire IX flew dive-bombing operations in the WWII Italy campaign. Each pilot developed a method for diving and aiming. Pilots blacked out, bombs failed to release and needed shaking off. Some targets were difficult to locate and destroy. Ack-ack was heavy. The one rule was never to go lower than 1000 feet before releasing the bomb. This story tells of one such operation.
