Description |
English: Royal Air Force Bomber Command, 1942-1945. Low-level oblique aerial photograph of the bomb-cratered German secret weapon site at Mimoyecques, near Marquise, France. At upper centre is the concrete slab covering the batteries of 'high pressure pump' guns (V3 weapon) which were to have fired on London. The site was attacked by No. 617 Squadron RAF in daylight on 6 July 1944 with 12,000 'Tallboy' deep penetration bombs, which caused the collapse of some galleries and one of the gun shafts, and inhibited any further work on the weapon until the site was overrun by the Canadian Army the following month. |

Licensing
editThis image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag. |
