Pluto Pipe-Lines: A Marvel of Wartime Engineering Across the English Channel This series of illustrations by G.H. Davis provides a fascinating glimpse into the workings of the Pluto pipelines, an engineering feat that played a crucial role in the Allied war effort during 1944 and 1945. The Pluto pipelines, an acronym for Pipeline Under The Ocean, were responsible for pumping millions of gallons of petrol from Great Britain to France, providing much-needed fuel for the Allied forces during their invasion of occupied Europe. The illustrations depict the intricate process of building and maintaining these underwater pipelines, which were installed in the English Channel. The double-page spread showcases the various stages of construction, from the initial planning and preparation to the laying of the pipes and their connection to the receiving houses on the French coast. The illustrations also reveal the innovative technology used to overcome the challenges of working underwater, such as the use of diving bells and submersible pumps. The Pluto pipelines were a vital component of the Allied war effort, enabling the continuous supply of fuel to the troops on the front lines. The pipelines were operational from July 1944, providing a crucial lifeline during the invasion of Normandy and the subsequent advance into Europe. The success of the Pluto pipelines demonstrates the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the British engineering during World War II, and serves as a testament to the importance of technology in military strategy. These captivating illustrations offer a unique perspective on a little-known aspect of wartime history, providing a fascinating insight into the technology and engineering that played a crucial role in the Allied victory in Europe.
