Bangkok, Thailand. 18 April 1945. Aerial view of the Klong Phasi Charoen canal locks under air attack by aircraft of No. 356 (Liberator) Squadron RAF. This canal is part of an extensive canal system in the Bangkok area which was being used by the Japanese as an alternative communications route. The Klong Damneum Sadauk canal was also attacked and the damage caused by bombing to these two canals has reduced their efficiency by approximately 80%. Pictures courtesy of Australian War Memorial
