American soldier eats with French airmen at Alllied air base in Sardinia. A member of the U.S. armed forces (right), the only American soldier with the French Air Force, jokes as he dines with his French companions at an Allied air base on the Island of Sardinia, off the west coast of Italy. From Sardinian bases, French crews fly American-built B-26 Marauder medium bombers in raids on German targets in occupied France and Italy.
