This mid 20th century British Military History photo features searchlights piercing the sky during an air-raid practice on Gibraltar, a British fortress since the early 18th century and a vital factor in British military strategy both as a foothold on the European continent, and as a bastion of British sea power. In the photo, the searchlights aren’t intended for the use of the crew running the lights and their purpose is to help the anti-aircraft gunners spot incoming bombers in the glare from light reflecting off the fog. Photo taken on November 20, 1942.
