EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history during World War II. Taken on the 27th of June, 1944, by a brave cameraman from the R. A. F. film production unit, it showcases a fort at the eastern entrance to the port of Cherbourg. The photograph was taken from an astonishingly low altitude of just 200 feet while flying in a Mosquito aircraft on reconnaissance over Cherbourg. At the time this picture was captured, the fort still remained under German occupation. The image offers us a unique glimpse into the conflict that ravaged France during this tumultuous period. From this aerial perspective, we are able to witness firsthand the strategic importance and defensive capabilities of this stronghold. The Royal Air Force (RAF) played an instrumental role in gathering intelligence and supporting military operations throughout World War II. This particular photograph is a testament to their bravery and dedication as they risked their lives to document crucial information for Allied forces. As we delve into our past through images like these, we gain valuable insights into our shared history and appreciate the sacrifices made by those who fought for freedom during one of humanity's darkest times. This remarkable photo serves as both a reminder and tribute to all those involved in World War II - soldiers, civilians, and even photographers - who contributed towards shaping our world today.
