Re: Target Photo Budapest

The fold3 picture description says it was taken by a 483rd BG, 817th BS plane "852" on 5 September 1944 and the target was RR bridge (S) Budapest. From the markings on the picture itself, it appears to have been taken from 26,000 feet with a 24 inch (focal length) camera at 10:31. (B-17 42-102852 was "Mary Alice" in the 483rd. It flew 97 missions and survived the war.)
