EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the devastating aftermath of a targeted aerial attack on the Creil railway marshalling yards during World War II. Taken at one o'clock on March 23rd, 1944, this aerial view showcases the extensive damage caused by B-26 Marauder medium bombers from the US Ninth Air Force. The image reveals a scene of destruction as more than 300 tons of bombs have obliterated locomotive sheds, transit sidings storage, sidings, and through roads. Bomb craters punctuate the landscape, severing all tracks and impeding through traffic in both yards and roads. In this snapshot frozen in time from the 1940s, we witness an intense campaign unfolding as part of the Second World War. The United States Air Force (USAAF) relentlessly pursued their mission to weaken enemy forces with precision bombing raids like this one. Memory Lane Prints presents this historical artifact that serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by armed forces during wartime. It is a testament to their bravery and determination to secure victory for their nations.
