EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph, taken during the spring of 1943, captures a pivotal moment in the North African campaign of World War II. In the image, a South African Air Force (SAAF) bomber is seen attacking a German barracks at Mareth in Tunisia from the rear. The photograph was taken from another aircraft, providing a unique perspective on the destructive power of air warfare. The impact of the bombs can be seen at the bottom right of the image, with plumes of smoke rising from the German position. The South African Air Force played a crucial role in the Allied campaign to defeat the Axis powers in North Africa, and this photograph is a testament to their effectiveness in the skies. The South African Air Force operated a diverse fleet of aircraft during the war, including the Armstrong Whitworth Albemarle, which is believed to be the aircraft from which this photograph was taken. The Albemarle was a versatile aircraft used for various roles, including maritime patrol, transport, and bomber missions. The battle of Mareth was a significant engagement in the North African campaign, with the German forces under General Rommel attempting to hold their ground against the advancing Allied forces. The South African Air Force played a critical role in softening up the German defenses before the ground assault, and this photograph provides a glimpse into the devastating impact of their air raids. This historical photograph is an important reminder of the bravery and determination of the air crews who fought in the skies above North Africa during World War II. It is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the men and women of the South African Air Force in the pursuit of victory.
