Description | Taylorcraft Auster IV Aeroplane; Second World War, 1944 |
Details |
Royal Air Force Taylorcraft Auster IV airplane, with an artillery spotter on board, pictured in action over Italy. The Auster IV was an excellent airplane for the role of artillery-spotting as it was very slow flying, allowing the spotter to have a good look at where the enemy were and where the artillery shells were landing.
