'Tobruk was the target at this time; it was the front door for Rommel's supplies. While the shutter was open for this photograph, taken 10,000 feet above an El Gubi landing ground, lights streaked across the moving film from (1) two small fires just off the area photographed, (2) incendiaries beginning to burn, (3) a parachute flare dropped to illuminate the target. The instantaneous photoflash revealed (4) a stick ofd four bomb-bursts among (5) dispersed stores and equipment, and (6) smoke plumes rising from the two fires', c1942-1943, (1945). From "R.A.F. Middle East - The Official Story of Air Operations, Feb. 1942 - Jan. 1943". [His Majesty's Stationery Office, London, 1945]
