" We will give it to them back" was the promise made to the bombed civilians of a stricken British City by the Prime Minister. That promise is already being redeemed by the Royal Air Force. Nightly, whenever conditions permit, the heavy bomber set off to attack military objectives in Germany. More and bigger bombers of the RAF, carrying larger and more powerful bombs, are striking even harder, hitting the enemy where it hurts the most, in its own country.
Each new raid on British town sends British crews out determined to give it to them back on vital objectives.
Picture shows: Light for hidden German targets is provided by RAF flare bombs. Here one is ent down the chute on the bombing mission. A picture is produced by infantry-red photography.

EDITORS COMMENTS
- a promise made by the Prime Minister to the bombed civilians of a stricken British City during World War Two. This print captures the determination and resilience of the Royal Air Force (RAF) in redeeming that promise. Night after night, whenever conditions permitted, heavy bombers took off on missions to attack military targets in Germany. As time went on, more and bigger bombers joined the RAF's fleet, carrying larger and more powerful bombs. The strikes became even harder, hitting the enemy where it hurt most - within their own country. Each new raid on a British town only fueled the determination of British crews to retaliate against vital objectives. In this poignant image from April 1941, RAF flare bombs illuminate hidden German targets. One such bomb is seen being released down a chute during a bombing mission. The resulting picture is captured through infantry-red photography techniques. This photograph serves as a reminder of the bravery displayed by those who fought for their country during one of history's darkest times. It symbolizes not only their commitment to defending Britain but also their unwavering spirit in seeking justice for innocent civilians affected by enemy bombings. Memory Lane Prints presents this historical moment with respect and admiration for all those involved in protecting freedom and peace during World War Two – an era defined by sacrifice, courage, and resilience.
