EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment frozen in time during the height of World War II. Taken in March 1943, it showcases the sheer power and devastation unleashed by De Havilland Mosquito B Mark IVs of Nos. 105 and 139 Squadrons RAF on the Renault automotive works at Le Mans, France. The image reveals a scene of chaos as billowing smoke engulfs three prominent buildings within the sprawling Renault complex. The aerial perspective provides a unique vantage point, allowing viewers to witness firsthand the destructive force of an air raid conducted under broad daylight. In this snapshot from history, we are reminded of the relentless conflict that engulfed Europe during the forties.
