EDITORS COMMENTS
Two Douglas Boston Mark IIIs of RAF Bomber Command, captured in a powerful moment as they execute a daring low level daylight attack on the Royal Dutch Blast Furnace and Steelworks at Velsen. This historic photograph, taken on November 27th, 1942, offers a glimpse into the intensity and devastation of World War Two. From the vantage point of one aircraft, we witness the chaos unfolding below. A thick plume of smoke billows near the coke-oven plant, evidence of an explosive blast that shakes the ground. In another part of this industrial complex, bomb blasts tear through tanks housing benzol by-products with fierce precision. The image also reveals a probable burst near a support structure for the transporter crane serving the Foundry Basin. The sheer force unleashed during this assault is palpable; it encapsulates both the determination and strategic prowess exhibited by RAF Bomber Command. As we delve into this snapshot from history, we are transported back to an era defined by conflict and resilience. The yearning for victory against all odds permeates every pixel of this print. This photo serves as a poignant reminder not only of wartime heroism but also pays homage to those who fought valiantly in defense of freedom. It stands as testament to their sacrifices while offering us an opportunity to reflect upon our shared past.
