Summary
| Description |
English: Royal Air Force- Italy,the Balkans and South-east Europe, 1942-1945. RAF ground crews and American medical orderlies remove a stretcher bearing Lieutenant John Giannaris, US Army, from the rear cockpit of a Westland Lysander Mark III(SD) of No. 148 (Special Duties) Squadron RAF, at an airfield in Italy following his evacuation from German-occupied Greece. Giannaris, an American OSS officer leading a Greek guerilla group, was badly wounded while attempting to sabotage part of the Athens-Salonika railway line north of Lamia in central Greece and required urgent evacuation for treatment at an Allied hospital. Flying Officer N H Attenborrow flew the Lysander, largely unescorted, over 500 miles from Southern Italy to pick up the wounded officer on a landing strip prepared by the guerillas in the Pindus mountains. |

Licensing
This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
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.  |
