Description
English: Royal Air Force 1939-1945- Coastal Command
The shattered remains of Liberator III FL910/H of No 224 Squadron, wrecked while attempting to land at Predannack in Cornwall, 20 October 1942. The aircraft, captained by Flying Officer David Sleep, was crippled by one of its own depth charges during an attack on a U-boat southwest of Ireland. One of six DCs released exploded on contact with the submarine's casing, the blast ripping into the Liberator's tail. Sleep and his crew battled with the badly damaged flight controls for the rest of the trip back to base but lost control on the final approach.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
