[west-vlaanderen.be] [Book] Boek ‘De Kust. 4 augustus 1945. De zomer van de vrijheid’ toont panorama van kustlijn na WO II | Provincie West-Vlaanderen
During the
Summer of 1945, USAAF executed Trolley missions over North Africa and Europe.
The
official targets were to assess the results of the strategic bombing offensive
and to permit to ground staff to fly as passengers over the targets of missions
during World War 2.
Practically
it was also a unique occasion to collect aerial pictures of the flown regions if
ever it could be needed for future needs. These pictures were then “unofficially”
buried in US archives for more than 60 years. Practically it was an unbelievable
source of information for USAF during the cold war.
Since the
years 2000’s the pictures are more and more available (see https://www.belgianaviationnews.be/2020/11/trolley-from-may-7th-to-12th-may-1945.html=
Now, a new
book is covering some pictures taken over the Belgian coast. The editor and the
authors already published a monumental book based on WW1 aerial pictures of the
front. Here again this is a “mission completed”
This is
also a “must have” book if you love the Belgian coast and/or interested in
aviation history.
