Addis Ababa, a City Ablaze - The Aftermath of a Devastating RAF Air Strike in 1941
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This haunting photograph captures the aftermath of an intense aerial assault on Addis Ababa, Ethiopia's capital city during World War II. Taken by an official photographer from Memory Lane Prints on February 17th, 1941, it reveals the devastating impact of a direct hit scored by The Royal Air Force. In this image, the hangers are engulfed in flames and billowing smoke fills the sky as evidence of the fierce attack. The once bustling hub now lies in ruins, bearing witness to the horrors of war. This snapshot freezes a moment that forever changed the lives and landscape of Addis Ababa. The significance of this event extends beyond its immediate destruction; it symbolizes Ethiopia's struggle for independence against Italian occupation during WWII. As part of their campaign to liberate Ethiopian soil from fascist forces aligned with Mussolini's Italy, Allied powers launched numerous air strikes like this one. Through this photograph, we catch a glimpse into history—capturing not only the physical devastation but also conveying emotions felt by those who witnessed such destruction firsthand. It serves as a stark reminder that even amidst chaos and ruin, resilience can emerge. Memory Lane Prints preserves these powerful images to ensure that future generations never forget the sacrifices made during times of conflict—a testament to humanity's unwavering spirit in rebuilding shattered cities and forging ahead towards peace.
