1942-RCAF's 417 Fighter Squadron heads for Egypt to join the famed Desert Air Force on operations from the Nile valley in Egypt, to the plains of northern Italy. Its Spitfires gave air protection to the port of Alexandria, participated in the closing stages of the Tunisian campaign, covered the Allied invasions of Sicily & Calabria, & guarded the beach-head at Anzio. Then they became fighter-bombers & supported the Eighth Army as it slogged its way up the peninsula to the foothills of the Alps.
