This incredible WWII aerial reconnoissance photograph was taken by the R.A.F. No. 400 Squadron on February 15th 1944. The R.A.F. No. 400 Squadron flew Mustang and Spitfire aircraft on photo­graphic reconnaissance work, collecting photographic intelligence for Allied invasion planners, and before-and-­after photographs of Allied air attacks against German “Noball” (V-1 flying bomb) launching sites, following the Allied invasion of Europe in June 1944, it provided tactical photographic reconnaissance for the British Second Army in Northwest Europe. The squadron was disbanded at Luneburg, Germany on 7 August 1945.

While the location of this aerial reconnoissance photograph is unknown it was taken 4 month prior to the Allied D-Day invasion landings on the Normandy coast.

This original aerial reconnoissance photograph would make an amazing addition of any WWII collection.
