Description:
Original caption reads: "American war planes, provided through lend-lease, are in action on the various fighting fronts. Lend-Lease twin-engine bombers are shown being hoisted aboard ship in an unnamed American port from a lighter alongside. They are bound for distant allied ports. More bombers in the background are awaiting loading. Expert welders fasten the big planes securely to the ship's deck to protect shipments from damage during heavy weather." Archivist note: These appear to be American A-20 "Havoc" attack bombers, known as the "Boston" in RAF service.
