Description
Vietnam. 1969-8-26. An aerial photograph showing the damage resulting from a mission flown by RAAF Canberra bomber crew Magpie 31 (Pilot Officer S.S. Welsh and Flight Lieutenant N.L. Duus). Canberras were especially effective in delivering a stick of bombs against linear targets, with the spacing between the bombs being variable to achieve the desired coverage of the target area.
