Description: Aerial photograph of an attack by eleven Royal Air Force De Havilland Mosquito B.IV bombers (six from No. 105 Squadron, RAF Marham; five from No. 139 Sqn, RAF Manston) on the railroad network in Trier, Germany, 1 April 1943. This photo shows the attack on the railway yard (Ausbesserungswerk) in Trier-West by 105 Sqn aircraft. As the Mosquitoes attacked from an altitude of 15 m, the 227 kg bombs ricocheted from the steel roof of the locomotive shop and destroyed the adjacent street car depot of the Stadtwerke Trier. Note the Mosquito bomber in the upper center of the photograph.
