Air Force Bombardment Group

Syrian government forces advanced into Palmyra on Saturday with heavy support from air strikes and artillery, state media and a monitoring group said, taking control of several districts in a major assault against Islamic State fighters.

A coalition led by the United States conducted three air strikes against Islamic State in Syria on Thursday and bombarded the militant group with 21 strikes in Iraq, according to a statement released on Friday.

Syrian government forces used newly arrived Russian warplanes to bombard Islamic State fighters in Aleppo province in northern Syria, a group monitoring the conflict said today, in an attempt to break a siege on a nearby air base.

Rocket attacks killed three people in Damascus and wounded at least 35 on Thursday, state news agency SANA said, in what appeared to be the second heavy bombardment by insurgent group Islam Army in less than two weeks.

Thousands of feet above the Pacific Ocean during World War II, the bullets were coming fast and the flak was flying. Japanese fighter planes whizzed around like bees as the American forces in their lumbering B-24 bombers tried everything to reach their targets, save fuel and stay airborne for the long trip home.
