Description

Anim, Burma. 1945-05-22. A low level oblique photograph taken from an RAF Liberator aircraft of a Japanese train fifteen miles south of Anim on the Pegu-Ye railway line in Burma after being attacked by a RAF Liberator aircraft of Strategic Air Force, Eastern Air Command. A dense black cloud of smoke rises high into the sky from the burning train, which was probably transporting oil to the Japanese armies.
