Striking a train

Imperial War Museum

An enemy supply train carrying guns and ammunition is set on fire near Bir Abu Mischeifa, during an attack by four Bristol Beaufighters of No. 252 Squadron RAF, at this time based at Idku, Egypt, and three Bristol Bisleys of No. 15 Squadron SAAF. The photograph was taken from the observer's position in one of the Beaufighters, as it flew away from the target. Data likely 1942. Victor Sierra
