"Close-up of a Martin B-26 Marauder medium bomber making its run over the target, which in this instance is a Nazi fighter airdrome at Tricqueville, France. This airdrome was supposed to be the home of the famed Goering "Yellow Nosed" Fighter Squadron. Hangars, buildings and dispersal areas were blasted by dozens of sticks of 300lb bombs from US groups which made this raid." - B-26B 41-18072 450BS, 322BG, 9AF USAAF.
