Summary

Description

Panorama of convoy showing torpedo explosion (?). The AWM description describes it as a bomb esplosion, there is, however, no anti-aircraft fire.


AWM caption: "Barents Sea. 1942-09-14. A bomb from a Junkers 88 aircraft explodes at 1.30pm, close alongside Hunt class destroyer HMS Wheatland as Tribal Class destroyer HMS Eskimo speeds between convoy lanes. Note the concentration of ships, in convoy number PQ-18, carrying supplies to Russia by the Arctic route. These convoys were under almost constant attack by enemy planes and submarines, and losses were heavy."
