Scope and Content Peterhead Airfield, Aberdeenshire Luftwaffe aerial photograph of Peterhead airfield, taken during World War II. Aircraft and facilities are well dispersed at Peterhead, to increase their survivability in the event of an enemy attack. The domestic site is spread across ten locations and a number of aircraft blast-pens are visible around the airfield perimeter. The German Luftwaffe took aerial photographs of parts of Scotland throughout World War II. The photographs were used for intelligence work, such as selecting targets, assessing bombing accuracy and finding equipment and defensive positions. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
