EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to the intense days of World War II. On February 19th, 1941, the Royal Air Force of the Middle East Command launched a bombing mission on the aerodrome at Asmara in Africa. The devastating impact of this attack is vividly captured in this image. The picture reveals a scene of destruction and chaos caused by the bombs dropped on buildings and hangars. In frame two, we see holes puncturing through once sturdy roofs, evidence of the sheer force unleashed upon them. Demolished buildings are showcased in frame three, their structures reduced to rubble and debris. Frame four displays damaged hangars that bear witness to the fierce assault they endured. Moving further into the devastated area depicted in frame five, we witness complete demolition as buildings lie crumbled and destroyed beyond recognition. Even motor transport buildings did not escape unscathed as shown in frame six with visible damage inflicted upon them. Frame seven captures bombs bursting mid-air during this harrowing event while frame eight portrays aircraft engulfed in flames - an unsettling reminder of war's destructive power. This powerful photograph serves as a poignant testament to the bravery and sacrifice exhibited by military forces during World War II. It stands as a stark reminder of both the physical devastation caused by conflict and our collective duty to remember those who fought for freedom during these tumultuous times.
