Backround:
By the summer of 1944 the Ninth AirForce had become a massive aerial sledgehammer made up of dozens of medium bomber and fighter-bomber groups that spent every good day making life miserable for the Wehrmacht. Most of the fighter-bomber groups were make up of the P-47. Targets included fuel and ammunition depots, bridges, motor transport, trains, bridges, airfields, and troop concentrations. Most of the work was low down and dirty with approaches at eight to twelve thousand feet followed by fast dives on the target and then a run for home. This Snapshot represents one of the thousands that may have taken place over France in the summer of 1944.
