ROYAL AIR FORCE COASTAL COMMAND, 1939-1945. - Low-level oblique aerial photograph showing a Lockheed Hudson Mark V of No. 59 Squadron dropping its torpedo during an attack by six aircraft from North Coates, Norfolk, on an enemy convoy off Ijmuiden, Holland. They pressed home the attack in the face of heavy anti-aircraft fire, and three merchant vessels were seriously damaged, including the German freighter JANJE FRITZEN, visible on the left. The spray in the background is caused by a shell from a shore battery, which also engaged the Hudsons. , Royal Air Force, 59 Squadron
