EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the turbulent times of World War II, specifically October 1942. The image showcases the aftermath of relentless bombings carried out by the Royal Air Force (RAF) on Benghazi harbour in Libya. The RAF pilots have aptly named their sorties to this target "The Mail Run" a testament to their frequent attacks. In this haunting scene, we witness the devastating impact of both day and night assaults conducted by British and American bombers. The once bustling port has been transformed into a solemn graveyard for Axis shipping vessels. Destruction is evident everywhere - shattered hulls, charred debris, and remnants of what was once a thriving hub for maritime trade. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the immense sacrifices made during wartime. It captures not only the military might unleashed upon enemy forces but also highlights the collateral damage inflicted upon civilian infrastructure. As we gaze at this aerial view from above, we are transported back in time to an era defined by conflict and resilience. It offers us a glimpse into one small fragment of history that shaped our world today – showcasing bravery, destruction, and ultimately victory over tyranny.
