EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment during World War II. Taken on the 3rd of October, 1943, it showcases the bravery and determination of No. 342 (Free French) Squadron RAF as they conducted a daring daylight raid on the power station at Chevilly-la-Rue, near Paris. In this aerial shot, we see eleven Douglas Bostons soaring through the sky with purposeful precision. The aircrafts' sleek silhouettes stand out against the backdrop of Europe's war-torn landscape. As they approach their target, one can almost feel the tension in the air. The power station below is shrouded in billowing smoke and chaos ensues as bombs rain down upon it. This image serves as a stark reminder of the devastating impact that conflict has on civilian infrastructure. The photograph not only captures an important military operation but also symbolizes France's resistance against German occupation during this tumultuous period in history. It stands as a testament to courage and unity in times of adversity. Preserved by Memory Lane Prints, this remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into our past—a visual representation of sacrifice and heroism that should never be forgotten. Let it serve as a poignant reminder of those who fought for freedom during World War II and inspire future generations to strive for peace amidst turmoil.
