EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the moment of the First Torpedo Air Attack during the Second World War, an event that marked a significant turning point in naval warfare. On the 11th of April, 1940, off the coast of Trondheim, Norway, torpedo-carrying aircraft of the British Fleet Air Arm launched a daring assault against a German destroyer. The image, taken by renowned war photographer G.H. Davis for the Illustrated London News, shows the brave pilots of the Royal Air Force (RAF) in their biplanes, armed with torpedoes, preparing to drop their deadly payloads onto the unsuspecting German destroyer. The destroyer, caught off guard, is seen in the background, its smokestacks billowing plumes of black smoke as it takes a direct hit. The successful attack marked the first time that aircraft had been used to deliver torpedoes against a naval target, and it demonstrated the potential power and effectiveness of air power in naval warfare. The event came just weeks after the start of the Second World War, and it served as a warning to the Axis powers that the Allies were not to be underestimated. The photograph is a testament to the bravery and innovation of the men and women who served in the armed forces during this time, and it stands as a reminder of the pivotal role that air power played in the outcome of the war. This powerful image, captured by Davis, has become an iconic symbol of the Second World War and a reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought to protect freedom and democracy.
