Kraakhellesund Fjord, Norway. C. 1945-01. Clouds of smoke pouring from a large enemy merchantman ship after rocket firing Mosquito aircraft of RAF Coastal Command had carried out an attack in Kraakhellesund Fjord. The Germans were attempting to salvage the vessel which had struck a rocky island. The first wave of Mosquito aircraft made their strike at over 300 mph and started fires. The attack lasted only thirty seconds. Half an hour later another patrol of Mosquito aircraft saw the smoke, investigated and made a second attack. This photograph shows the narrow shipping channel into which the Mosquito aircraft had to descend to carry out the attack.
