Lancaster I NG128 "B " of 101 Sqn. flown by Fg Off R. B. Tibbs as part of a thousand-bomber raid on Duisburg on October 14, 1944, dropping its 4lb incendiaries. It carried 1,170 of these. They spread in all directions during descent and were thus difficult to aim accurately. Many Bomber Command aircraft were hit by 4lb incendiaries over the target and some were brought down.

Каждую ночь RAF разрушали военную промышленность Германии. Lancaster на снимке сбрасывает одну 1814-кг и зажигательные бомбы. Некоторые самолеты несли специальное оборудование: две антенны на этом самолете принадлежат системе РЭБ ABC (Airborne Cigar - передатчик помех в сигарообразном контейнере).
A Lancaster I of No 101 Squadron carrying "Airborne Cigar” apparatus, as shown by the two long dorsal aerials, to jam enemy R/T transmissions, dropping incendiaries and a single 4,000-lb (1816-kg) bomb over Duisburg in October 1944.
The same Lancaster dropping its 4,000lb cookie and its 30lb “J” incendiaries. The Lancaster carried 108 of the “J" incendiaries, which were considered less effective than the 4lb incendiaries.

Liberator KK320 of 37 Sqn, based at Tortella in Italy, and flown by Sqn Ldr L. C. Saxby, on the run-up to an attack on Monfalcone harbour installations. The falling bombs are 1,000lb general-purpose, dropped from an aircraft above. Two bombs hit the Liberator but had not fallen far enough to become fuzed. One bomb tore off the propeller of the port inner engine while another hit the port side of the fuselage near the flight deck. Two crew members were slightly injured but, miraculously, the aircraft was not brought down.
