Description
Hinaidi, Baghdad, Iraq. 1941-04. RAF flying boats on the Tigris River immediately before the nationalist rising in Iraq. In early May the Iraqi air force on the nearby Moasa Raschid airfield was largely destroyed and the revolt was finally suppressed at the end of May, restoring British prestige in the Arab world.
