2174a/ The Murman rail line is wounded with a direct hit.
The German aircraft has bombed and damaged an important section of the Murman rail line during a dive attack. The impact can be seen in the picture. He comes under heavy Flak fire as the aircraft turns away. The camera seen on the tail assembly of our picture suddenly receives a terrible beating shaking. The radioman slips into his seat with blood flowing down his face. Splinters from a direct hit, which left a huge hole in the left airfoil, hit the body and fuselage of the aircraft.
