Actually, there have been other eruptions of Mount Vesuvius throughout history, the same one that buried the Roman city of Pompeii and Herculaneum beneath layers of ash and rock in 79 AD. It is, in fact, the only volcano on the continental European continent to have erupted in recent decades. The volcano’s most recent major eruption took place in March 1944. Four surrounding settlements were devastated by this eruption. An eruption occurred, and the U.S. Several aircraft were damaged by the volcanic explosion, but these B-25 bombers, which had a bird’s eye view of the event, were unharmed. The Army Air Force was stationed in neighboring Terzigno.
