EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the intense days of World War II. It showcases the brave bombardiers from the US Eighth Bomber Command, riding in their mighty Flying Fortresses. As they soared through the skies, their eyes were fixed on two tiny targets below - the German U boat locks and pens at La Pallice, La Rochelle. The image reveals a larger rectangle that represents the main target area, highlighting just how precise these skilled bombers had to be. But it doesn't end there; a circle positioned at an altitude of 16ft indicates another concentration of bombs on an enemy airfield's dispersal area. Dated Thursday, September 16th, 1943, this photograph encapsulates a crucial moment in history when these courageous men embarked on a mission that would shape the outcome of World War II. The aerial view allows us to appreciate both the strategic planning involved and the sheer audacity required for such attacks. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by those who served in our armed forces during this tumultuous period. This picture tells not only part but also evokes curiosity about what happened before and after this particular raid. Officially captured by Memory Lane Prints as part of their historical collection from World War II era, it serves as a powerful reminder of our past and honors those who fought valiantly for freedom.
