Attack on Budapest.

Attack on Budapest. A B-24 Liberator sears over the target area as huge clouds of smoke from burning oil refineries, railroad yards and aircraft factories rise above Budapest during the all-out daylight attack carried out by the Mediterranean Allied Air Forces April 4, 1944. It was the first Allied attack on the Hungarian capital, an important enemy production center and junction for supplies to Axis troops on the Russian, Yugoslav and Italian fronts.
