First Tampa mob war, circa 1928 tbrough 1940. Known in Tampa as the Era of Blood (which really encompasses both 'wars'). Between Charlie Wall and the Mafia under Ignazio Anintori. Lots of sawed-off shotgun slayings from passing cars.
Second Tampa mob war, 1950 through 1955. Sal Italiano faction vs Santo Trafficante Jr faction. Also shotgun killings from cars, some close up hits, and one throat cutting/head bashing (Charlie Wall)
Lounge wars, mid 1970s, fighting between mob-backed nightclub and strip club owners (shootings and bombings)
