Ban-Tam-Kam, Thailand. c. May 1945. In a round trip of nearly 2,500 miles, from bases in India, RAF Liberator Aircraft of Strategic Air Force, Eastern Air Command, smashed a 600 feet three-span girder bridge at Ban Tam Kam on the Bangkok-Singapore railway. The bridge, 600 miles north of Singapore, had been hit before, but the new strike demolished it, temporarily denying the enemy the use of a vital supply link for the armies resisting in lower Burma and Thailand. Several RAAF members took part in the attack. This low level oblique aerial view was from one of the attacking RAF Liberator Aircraft and shows a bomb exploding in the centre of the bridge.
