1ST LT. GEORGE BAUER'S B-25C MITCHELL "LEGAL EAGLE"

US AIRCRAFT IN THE MTO

The Mediterranean Theater of Operations (MTO) was originally called North African Theater of Operations (NATO) and is an American term for the conflict that took place between Allies and Axis powers in North Africa and Italy during World War II.  US operations in the theater began with the Allied Expeditionary Force, which landed on the beaches of northwest Africa on November 8, 1942, in Operation Torch.  They ended in the Italian Alps some 31 months later, with the German surrender in May 1945.
