One of our group's planes boxed in with flak.

The group flying through a sea of flak.

This appears to be the same as the photo above but if you look closely you will see a difference. This photo must have been taken only seconds after the first.

Another illustration of very heavy flak.

A battery of four German 80 mm antiaircraft guns firing in salvo. This is what made life so miserable for bomber groups.
