Summary

Description
English: *Topic of this photo: Air raids on Hong Kong by the allies (the US) at 13:45, 16 October 1944. In this mission, the US Fourteenth Air Force sent out 28 B-24 heavy bombers, 33 P-51 fighter-bombers and 18 P-40 fighters to Japanese-occupied Hong Kong.[1] These planes most probably departed from Kweilin Airfield, 530 km (330 miles) northwest from Hong Kong. For the annotated version of this photo prepared by the US military, see File:1944-10-16 US air raids on Japanese-occupied Hong Kong 2, annotated.jpg.
中文：*核心信息: 攝於1944年10月16日13:45，盟軍（美軍）空襲香港。此次任務，美國第十四航空隊遣28架B-24重型轟炸機、33架P-51戰鬥轟炸機和18架P-40戰鬥機到日佔香港。[1]這些戰機最有可能從桂林李家村機場起航，距日佔香港530公里。本照片有另一版本，由美軍制作了轟炸目標的文字說明，見 File:1944-10-16 US air raids on Japanese-occupied Hong Kong 2, annotated.jpg.
  • 歷史背景: 當美軍在攻擊香港的日軍時，國軍在豫湘桂會戰的桂柳會戰，八路軍等在華北，無暇兼顧香港。
  • 城市景色: 圖右中央的大片空地是日軍佔領的啟德機場（註：後來在1950年代擴建，與本照片的模樣已全然不像），此時啟德濱住宅區及機場北面的莆崗一帶皆已被清拆納入機場範圍，啟德面積比戰前擴大一倍。
  • 本照片一連5張，其他見：
