8th Fighter Command fighters over Nazi-held Europe

Screaming in low, only a few feet off the ground, 8th Fighter Command fighters shoot up rail transportation behind the lines in Nazi-held Europe. Rail transportation is vital to the supplying of the German war machine and so the fighters have been shooting up trains, exploding cars and damaging the rail lines in any way possible. These pictures show attacks on rail marshalling yards, choke point, and the shooting up of trains along the line.
