...Inner Target. From the Mediterranean, Jimmy Doolittle's Fifteenth U.S. Air Force sent planes "in force" to Innsbruck and Augsburg in southwest Germany. The Augsburg raid dramatized the enormous growth of Allied air power and air techniques: not so long ago (April 17, 1942) the R.A.F. could spare only twelve Lancasters for a costly, experimental daylight raid on Augsburg from Britain...
