The documentary series chronicles the 1944 operations of the 57th Fighter Group, stationed in Corsica, where they conducted low-level attacks on Italian mainland targets, primarily German supplies and infrastructure, as part of Operation Strangle. This strategic effort aimed to weaken German front-line forces by cutting off their supply lines, ultimately supporting the Allied offensive through Italy. The group flew the renowned Republic P-47 Thunderbolt, one of the war's most iconic fighter-bombers.
