A four engine German transport aircraft Junkers Ju-90 of Lufttransportstaffel 290 turns for the land as it comes under cannon attack from a Martin Marauder of No. 14 Squadron RAF, off Bastia, Corsica, 1944. The Marauder, taken off from Protville, Tunisia, on a low-level reconnaissance sortie over the Tyrrhenian Sea, continued to attack the Ju 290 until they were shot at by the Corsican coastal defences and forced to break off. The Ju-290 crashed in Bastia and exploded shortly afterwards. Victor Sierra
