Description

Tripoli, Tripolitania, Libya. 26 January 1943. Few Allied bombs fell in the residential quarter of Tripoli during the pounding of the port by heavy bomber aircraft of the USMEAF and the RAF. The harbour took the full force of these fierce attacks. Beyond the sparkling fountain is a treelined avenue typical of Tripoli's residential quarters.
