19 Squadron Strike Photographs 1944-1945
Here a collection of Beaufighter nose camera photographs obtained from 19 Squadron war diaries archived in Pretoria, as well as private collections of 19 squadron pilots.
Please click on the heading of each mission to go to the detailed page of that particular mission to view the relevant war diary pages as well as how the target location appears today via Google earth images.
If you know of pilots who flew with 19 squadron in this time and are in possession of their log books/photo albums, please contact me as it would be great to add to this web site as a tribute to those brave airmen of past glory.
If you or your ancestors lived in any of the towns/target areas and have some information or interesting stories related to these attacks please let me know and we can then add the information to the site in an effort to preserve this important history.
I also have the high resolution version of these photographs.
