This incredibly rare, museum-grade World War II Royal Air Force No. 231 Group artifact is an original “Type 1” press photograph, sourced directly from the British Ministry of Information - Photograph Department. Type 1 photographs are exceptionally scarce as they represent the first high-gloss prints made from original combat negative camera images. These prints feature original marker stamps on the backside, indicating photography information.
What makes this WWII Type 1 RAF Burmna Campaign photograph even more exceptional is that it is an extremely rare, limited oversized print produced by the British Ministry of Information - Photograph Department. This particular photograph captures a historic moment, withing RAF bombs explode on and around hangars, dispersal points and administrative buildings during a daylight attack on the airfield at Kangaung, Burma, by Consolidated Liberators of No. 231 Group.
The back of this Type 1 photograph still retains the original hand-typed press caption, along with the authentic British Ministry of Information - Photograph Department press stamp. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own an original oversized Type 1 combat photograph from the Royal Air Force No. 231 Group, a true piece of history.
