Summary[edit]

Description
English: Bangkok, Thailand. 1945-04-14. On Saturday, RAF Liberator bomber aircraft of Strategic Air Force, Eastern Air Command, bombed the Thai Government electric power plant in daylight. This very heavy raid may have seriously disrupted the city's transport. The plant supplies the whole of the south side with light and power besides the tramway network and has an output of 19,000,000 units per year. The RAF bombers were making a 2,200 mile round trip to Bangkok and going in to attack singly from several directions loosed eighty 1,000 lb bombs in a dense concentration on the power house which lies on the east bank of the Menan River. A 5,000 ft column of smoke was visible to the crews thirty miles away from the city.
