The 340th was sent 5 but on almost , twice as many bridge-busting assignments as! the next highest B-25 group. Out of 15T- bridge targets assigned, the 340th I hit 142 and the Dog face squadron's pictures of, Joe and Willie saw their full share of work. Itlfwas close support for ground troops, such as this, which is given credit for preventing the enemy from storing supplies, for hindering; troop movements, and for making it difficult f even to get needed vital equipment j ; Sergeant Bill Mauldin was re cently awarded the Pulitzer 'prize for one lof his cartoons of the Italian campaign.
