In heavy fog off the Polish coast on October 15th, 1944, the German heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen rammed the light cruiser Leipzig amidships, almost cutting her in two. The two ships were wedged together for 14 hours before Prinz Eugen managed to extricate herself.

15th October 1938: first flight of the Bristol Beaufort. Closely related to the Blenheim and Beaufighter, it was designed from the outset as an anti-shipping aircraft, with torpedo carrying capability. The Beaufort served with RAF Coastal Command over European waters until 1942.

First prototype Beaufort pictured in 1938 around the time of its first flight. Modifications to the aircraft and issues with its Taurus engines delayed the type’s entry into service until late 1939, with the first operational mission not taking place until April 1940. The image shows a twin radial-engined aircraft with a glazed nose in natural metal finish. It’s parked on a grass airfield under a cloudless sky, the sun casting its shadow clearly.
