    And based on the hangar in one of the other Stirling photos the airfield is Dum Dum Calcutta
  • A30yoyo said:
    French sources have dated this photo between 12-17 September 1945 based on the schedule of the French VIPs using the B-17...so Jack Canary was presumably on his return journey from the CBI zone

    That's a strong image. Was this for a propaganda poster?
  • The National Archives UK said:
    Yes, the Ministry of Information would have commissioned this with a view to using it in their publications (posters, pamphlets etc.)
  • Adamant Walk said:
    This painting was depicting the RAF conducting an air raid over Germany at night. But which city in Germany was depicted in this painting?
