Description
English: Royal Air Force Operations in the Far East, 1941-1945.
Flight Lieutenant E "Ted" Garside lands Short Sunderland Mark III, JM659 'Q', of No. 230 Squadron RAF on the Brahmaputra River at Dibrugarh, India, loaded with casualties evacuated from Burma. In June 1944, two aircraft of the Squadron were detached from their base at Koggala, Ceylon, to Dibrugarh in Assam, in order to evacuate Special Force casualties from Lake Indawgyi, situated behind the enemy front lines in northern Burma. In thirteen sorties between 2 June and 3 July, the Sunderlands evacuated some 537 men of 111th Brigade, and flew in medical stores, rations and combat troops. On 20 June, JM659 was rendered unserviceable when a DUKW collided with her at Dibrugarh, and on 4 July she sank at her moorings after being struck by a whirlwind.

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.
