EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment during an RAF attack on Zeebrugge, showcasing the precision and effectiveness of the bombing campaign. Taken as part of a sustained daylight offensive over enemy occupied territories, this image symbolizes the immense dislocation caused to the enemy's war effort. The bombs in the photograph can be seen straddling their target with remarkable accuracy, leaving no doubt about the devastating impact they had on Zeebrugge. A Squadron Leader who participated in this daring mission described witnessing a tremendous explosion followed by flames reaching unprecedented heights. As they departed from their target, he observed that the entire area was engulfed in furious blazes. Dating back to May 1942, this picture provides us with a glimpse into one of history's most significant conflicts - World War Two. It serves as a reminder of the bravery and skill exhibited by RAF pilots during aerial bombings across Europe, specifically France.
