Beaufighters of RAF Coastal Command attacked an enemy convoy off Heligoland

Beaufighters of RAF Coastal Command attacked an
enemy convoy off Heligoland, Germany on the evening of 21st July 1944.
The attack was made with torpedoes, rocket projectiles
and cannon. About 40 vessels were encountered. Four merchantmen were hit with torpedoes, two them left
sinking, five escort vessels were left blazing and most
of the other ships were damaged by cannon fire and rocket projectiles.
This picture shows: An enemy vessel on fire after being attacked by low flying RAF Beaufighters.
Electrical discharge on the film has caused the rather bizarre light pattern on the photograph.
