EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of triumph during World War II. Taken on July 14,1943, it showcases the sheer power and precision of the U. S. 8th Air Forces' flying Fortresses as they launch a successful attack on the German Gllsy aerodrome at Amiens in France. The image reveals an intense aerial scene with bombs exploding directly on target. The impact is evident as hits can be seen on two large dispersal areas nestled within a wooded landscape, one of which housed ten hangers. The German anti-aircraft positions were not spared either, receiving numerous direct hits. This snapshot from history provides us with a glimpse into the bravery and determination exhibited by these American forces during their mission to weaken enemy strongholds. It serves as a testament to their strategic prowess and unwavering commitment to victory. As we reflect upon this photograph, taken over seven decades ago, let us remember the sacrifices made by those who fought for freedom during World War II. Their actions shaped our world today and serve as a reminder of the resilience of humanity even in times of great adversity.
