Aerial views of Dieppe: The shot on the left was taken during a daylight raid on shipping by 12 Lockheed Venturas of No. 487 Squadron RNZAF. One group of bombs is straddling the Quai du Hable and the entrance channel to the docks, while another cluster explodes on the cliff top above the Avant Port. The other view is a low-level reconnaissance photograph of the Dieppe waterfront taken by the Army Co-operation Command a few days before the raid.
