The first three photographs which appear below were collected by  J.(Jack) Emery Long,  Lieutenant (later Captain) of the United States Army Air Force Intelligence.  They were published in an album entitled  42nd Bomb Wing (US),  Road & rail bridges Central Italy, Bomb damage survey.  Unfortunately these three photographs were printed back to front.  The versions you are now looking at  have been 'flipped' and are correct.
