LONDON, September 1 Today's air communique from Allied headquarters, North Africa, says that heavy bombers of the North-west African Air- Force struck yesterday at targets at Pisa, near Florence, north of Rome. There were large explosions, and many fires in the railway yards and in an aircraft factory. Naval yards were again attacked last night. Important railway communications in the toe and foot of Italy were attacked by medium bombers, which also attacked an important railway junction. Our fighterbombers attacked railway targets in the Bay of Naples. Six enemy aircraft were shot down during these operations. Two of ours are missing. Liberator bombers of the United States Army Air Force based in the Middle East joined in the assault on Italian rail communications with heavy attack in daylight yesterday on Pescara, on the east coast opposite Rome.
