Summary edit

Description
English: Photographie couleur de quatre soldats canadiens servants un canon Bofors de 40mm de DCA (Sergent Traplin, Bombardier Heldon, Bombardier Blank et Sergent Kennedy) après qu'ils aient abattu un avion ennemi.

Au premier plan un filet de camouflage. Le canon de DCA allié par excellence, aussi redoutable que les pièces de Flak de l'autre côté mais ayant laissé moins de traces dans l'Histoire. Il est arrivé que certains Bofors aient réussi à "descendre" des V1. Le canon Bofors, d'origine suédoise, était remorqué par un GMC le plus souvent mais il est arrivé que ce soient aussi des Dodge 6x6. Sa mise en oeuvre (camion compris) nécessitait la présence de 8 hommes : le conducteur du camion, le chargeur tireur, les 1er et 2ème pourvoyeurs, le pointeur en direction, le pointeur en hauteur, le radio téléphoniste et le chef de pièce.
