EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting photograph captures a pivotal moment in history, frozen in time by an enemy bomber during the Luftwaffe's first attack on the British mainland. On October 16th, 1939, German aircraft unleashed their destructive power upon naval units in the Firth of Forth. The Forth Bridge stands tall and defiant amidst the chaos, its iconic structure serving as a symbol of resilience. The dark patches scattered across the water reveal where bombs fell, leaving behind scars that would forever be etched into the memory of those who witnessed this harrowing event. This image serves as a stark reminder of the relentless conflict that engulfed nations during World War Two.

It is through photographs like these that we gain insight into the bravery and strength displayed by both civilians and military personnel during such turbulent times. Let us not forget those who endured unimaginable hardships throughout this global struggle for freedom. May this photograph serve as a testament to their unwavering spirit and remind us of our duty to preserve peace for future generations.
