Ploesti, Romania:
Following the famous low-level raid o the Ploesti Oil Refineries on 1 August 1943, the 15th Air Force, based in Italy, followed up with several more high altitude bombing raids during 1944. Ploesti was always a tough target, being one of the most heavily defended in all occupied Europe. These are B-24's from the 451st Bomb Group leaving the Ploesti refineries in flames. |
