Fleet Air Arm Shatter Enemy Convoy.
Picture taken from one of the attacking Barracudas during a Fleet Air Arm strike on a southbound enemy convoy off the coast of Norway. Sighted between Mosjoen and Rorvik the convoy consisted of a laden troop transport and two supply ships escorted by an armed trawler.
When last seen the transport was burning fiercely and in a sinking condition, and the other three vessels has been set on fire and driven ashore.
(Picture) The troops transport, well on fire and down by the stern, making for the shore. The small supply ship is also on fire and being beached, and in the background the large supply vessel is running ashore after Firefly Fighter attack just before receiving a direct bomb hit.

Fleet Air Arm Shatter Enemy Convoy - A Glimpse into the Fury of War
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a pivotal moment during a Fleet Air Arm strike on an enemy convoy off the coast of Norway in December 1944. Taken from one of the attacking Barracudas, this aerial view provides a chilling perspective on the destructive power unleashed upon the unsuspecting vessels. The convoy, spotted between Mosjoen and Rorvik, consisted of a heavily laden troop transport and two supply ships accompanied by an armed trawler. The devastating assault left nothing but chaos in its wake. As depicted in this image, the troop transport is engulfed in flames, sinking rapidly as it desperately heads towards shore. Meanwhile, one of the smaller supply ships fights against raging fires before being deliberately beached for safety. In the background, we witness another supply vessel running aground after enduring a relentless attack by Firefly Fighters just moments before receiving a direct bomb hit. This photograph serves as a haunting reminder of the brutal realities faced by those involved in World War II. It encapsulates both the bravery and devastation experienced by naval forces during their relentless pursuit to protect their nations' interests. As we reflect upon this snapshot from history, let us remember those who fought valiantly amidst such harrowing circumstances and honor their sacrifices made for peace and freedom.
