1944 US bombing of an Italian city
The bombing of Gorla, also known as the Gorla massacre, was an aerial bombing attack on Gorla, a district of Milan, Italy, conducted by the United States Army Air Forces in October 1944. The bombing was precipitated when a navigational error placed an American bomber force over Gorla instead of its intended target.
